Manchester City vs Crystal Palace Predictions

• Manchester City are the top goalscorers in the Premier League.
• Crystal Palace have conceded 16 goals in their last five league meetings with Manchester City.

Citizens not giving up on title hopes

Crystal Palace booked their spot in the UEFA Conference League final last week and, with little to play for in the Premier League, the Eagles may fall to a heavy defeat against the title-chasing Manchester City.

The Citizens put three past Brentford on Saturday to keep their Premier League ambitions in play, leaving them as the leading scorers in the top flight. 41 of their 72 goals have been scored at the Etihad Stadium, and they could add a few to their burgeoning tally on Wednesday.

They have won their last three home games by an aggregate scoreline of 9-1, beating Arsenal and Liverpool in that sequence, and Crystal Palace’s last two league away days have been 3-0 and 3-1 defeats to Bournemouth and Liverpool.

Eagles primed for heavy defeat

The Eagles lost 3-0 in the reverse fixture in December and have conceded 16 goals in their last five league meetings with Pep Guardiola’s side, so back the hosts to fill their boots at the Etihad.

With Palace conceding exactly three goals in their last two Premier League trips and losing the reverse tie 3-0, a repeat of City’s 3-0 win at the weekend appeals in the correct score market.
