The title race is in full force and after the draw against Arsenal, City are looking for a big win to get back in pursuit of Liverpool. Palace, however, are looking towards the mid table rather than the drop zone.
Crystal Palace currently sit 14th in the Premier League after 30 games. The Eagles have seven wins, nine draws and 14 losses, leaving them on 30 points, eight points from the relegation zone.
The Eagles have struggled in front of goal this season, scoring 34 goals in 30 games giving them the average of 1.13 goals a game. However, Palace have been better defensively, conceding 50 goals and keeping six clean sheets.
Man City, on the other hand, currently sit third in the Premier League. In 30 games, City have 20 wins, seven draws and three losses which leaves them on 67 points, one point from the top of the table Liverpool who play Sheffield United at Anfield tonight.
City have been amongst the goals this season, scoring 67 goals and having an average of 2.23 goals a game. Man City have been just as consistent in defence, conceding 29 goals and keeping eight clean sheets.
Crystal Palace and Man City have met 60 times in their histories, with the first meeting coming back in the 1921 FA Cup. City have the better record in the fixture with 37 wins in comparison to Palace’s 17 wins, with a draw also common, happening on 16 occasions.
In fact, The Eagles haven’t beaten City since their shock 2 - 0 win back in 2021, and before that it was back in 2018. However, this fixture has seen more draws recently, twice in the last four meetings.
