Manchester City vs Crystal Palace match preview, predictions, betting advice and betting tips: The hosts must win to stay in the Top 4
Match Preview – 12.30 Kick-Off at Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Manchester City need points as they are fighting for the place in the Champions League next season, and the draws against Manchester United and Middlesbrough were not too helpful. Crystal Palace are not safe yet in 16th place, six points above the relegation zone, and the Eagles are wildly inconsistent, beating Chelsea and Liverpool away but gifting Burnley their first away win of the season last Saturday. The Citizens are clear favourites to win, but Crystal Palace could give them a fight on a good day.

Manchester City vs Crystal Palace Predictions
It is worth noticing that Manchester City find it easier to win away rather than at home – the Citizens only won eight home fixtures. With Crystal Palace achieving remarkable results against top opponents, beating Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, you can hardly be advised to look at the low odds on Manchester City to win. The hosts are still clear favourites, but Crystal Palace are more than likely to score with Christian Benteke in good form, and the odds on both teams finding the net are good at 1.66. There are a lot of early goals in Crystal Palace games too, so the odds on a goal before 21 minutes are also attractive at 1.83.
