Crystal Palace will take on Manchester City in the Premier League 27th round on Saturday evening. The hosts hope to provide a surprise, while the away side looks forward to continuing the title race.
Crystal Palace Preview & Team News
Crystal Palace will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 1-0 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Aston Villa. It was their tenth straight game where the Eagles failed to taste a win. Fewer than three goals per match were seen in 5 of the last six fixtures in which Crystal Palace has been a participant. In terms of the goal weighting from this period, opposing sides scored a total of 5 while Crystal Palace got themselves 3. There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Nathan Ferguson (Achilles tendon problems) is sidelined.
Manchester City Preview & Team News
Manchester City will go into this game following a 2-0 Premier League win with the eclipse of Newcastle United in their previous fixture. They are still chasing the Gunners, who are five points ahead of the defending champions. A run of committed performances from the Manchester City defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded, amounting to 4 from their past six clashes combined. During the same time, their forwards scored 14. Due to a completely injury-free squad available to select from, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola does not have any fitness concerns to report ahead of this game.
