Man City vs Crystal Palace prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash
Manchester City are set to face Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, following their midweek Champions League victory over Red Star Belgrade. City's recent form has been inconsistent, with a run of four games without a win, but they managed to turn things around with a comeback win against Luton Town last week.
Despite their victory in Serbia, City may still be without star striker Erling Haaland, who is back in training but remains a doubt for the Palace match. However, even without Haaland, City will be confident of securing a win against an out-of-form Palace side.
Crystal Palace have struggled this season, collecting just one point out of a possible 15. Manager Roy Hodgson, who is 76 years old, has been feeling the pressure as his team continues to underperform. In addition to their poor form, Palace is dealing with an injury crisis that has left key players sidelined.
Striker Odsonne Edouard, midfielder Jefferson Lerma, and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone are among the players currently unavailable for selection. As a result, Remi Matthews, the team's third-choice goalkeeper and former St Johnstone and Hamilton Accies shotstopper, is expected to start in Manchester.
City will be looking to capitalise on Palace's struggles and secure another important victory as they aim to climb up the Premier League table.
