Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
*Manchester City have a good historical record against Crystal Palace and have won 37 out of the 70 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Crystal Palace's 17 victories.
*Crystal Palace pulled off a comeback to secure a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture and have avoided defeat in both their games against Manchester City in a single league season only thrice in their history.
*Manchester City are unbeaten in their last eight matches away from home against Crystal Palace in the Premier League, with their previous such defeat coming by a 2-1 scoreline in 2015.
*Crystal Palace have failed to find the back of the net in their last four matches at home against Manchester City in the Premier League and last scored such a goal against the Cityzens in April 2019.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-3 Manchester City
Although Palace have struggled to score in recent home meetings with Man City, they have frustrated the Citizens on numerous occasions at Selhurst Park and can be optimistic of breaching their backline this time around, considering Guardiola's side have kept only three clean sheets in 14 top-flight away games this season. Keeping the visitors quiet at the other end could prove challenging for the Eagles, though, especially with a makeshift defence amid their injury concerns, and City - who have scored in each of their last 11 away matches - should have few problems exploiting that en route to claiming maximum points.
