Our Prediction Tip

Manchester City will win this match.

Crystal Palace have actually avoided defeat in each of their last two visits to the Etihad – winning 3-2 in December 2018 and drawing 2-2 in January last year. City did win twice at Selhurst Park in between, however. In last season’s most recent meeting – almost exactly a year ago – Sergio Aguero scored two late goals to turn the match around after Cenk Tosun’s opener but an even later Fernandinho own goal meant City had to settle for a point. Here are the results of their last five matches:

Jan 18, 2020: Manchester City 2-2 Crystal Palace
Oct 19, 2019: Crystal Palace 0-2 Manchester City
Apr 14, 2019: Crystal Palace 1-3 Manchester City
Dec 22, 2018: Manchester City 2-3 Crystal Palace
Dec 31, 2017: Crystal Palace 0-0 Manchester City

Manchester City Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

 

Crystal Palace Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Manchester City won ugly against Brighton last time out to continue their winning streak, but it is another tick in the box as they look for more consistent winning form. They now welcome an out-of-form Crystal Palace team to the Etihad and should be getting three more points.
Manchester City have won their last seven consecutive matches, and are unbeaten in their last 14 in total.

In-form Manchester City welcome Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace to the Etihad Stadium as Pep Guardiola’s side look to close the gap to the top of the table, and take advantage of Liverpool and Manchester United facing each other. The game takes place on Sunday January 16 and the live action starts at 19:15 local time.
