The early kick off on Saturday comes from the Etihad, as
Manchester City take on Crystal Palace, and look to make it 6 consecutive
league wins.
Crystal Palace have won just one away game in the league so
far this season, which came against Everton in September, and Neil Warnock’s
men haven’t won in the last 4 games, after beating Liverpool 3-1, and they’ve
scored just 2 goals in those games since.
As mentioned, City are looking to make it 6 wins from 6 in
the league. With all the doubts to the attacking line, it could be a long
afternoon for both sides. Pellegrini’s men have won their last 2 league games
1-0, against Everton and Leicester, and clearly miss Aguero, but the return of
David Silva is a huge positive.
KEY STATS
Crystal Palace haven’t won away at City since 1990
City have won 22 of their last 26 games at home in the
league
City have scored in 13 successive league matches
City have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 matches against
Palace in all competitions
City have been winning at both half time and full time in
their last 3 matches in the Premier League
VERDICT & TIPS
This will surely go to City, I just can’t see Palace getting
anything. It’s a tough one to call regards to the correct score. If Kompany’s
out, and you have Mangala and Demichelis, Palace can cause them two problems. And
with Aguero, Dzeko and Jovetic all out, goals may lack for City.
MAN CITY WIN (1.29

league games, as they host a struggling Leicester City. Leicester sit bottom of

managed just 6 goals in those 11 games, and you can’t see it getting any better
for them.
