Manchester City – Crystal Palace

prediction

Manchester City came within six points of leader Chelsea managed three consecutive victories in the last three stages. At home, “citizens” have lost one game in the six matches in front of Stoke City who won with 1: 0 at Etihad Stadium. Argentine striker Sergio Aguerro Championship is the top scorer, with 14 goals scored this in 14 games, that would be a resulted of a goal per game. Last round, Manchester City won with a score of 1-0 with Leicester. Manchester City will have in this match with Crystal Palace players as striker Edin Dzeko and left-back Aleksandar Kolarov that are recovered. Captain Vincent Kompany (hamstring) and playmaker David Silva (knee) remain on the sidelines while striker Stevan Jovetic is rested as a precaution after suffering a knock in the midweek win at Sunderland.

The Citizens will be hoping for a strong festive period to keep up the pressure on league leaders Chelsea. Tonight they have the oportunity of a home three points, and Manuel Pellegrini’s in-form men are trading as strong 2/7 favourites for the victory at the Etihad. Palace are a long way adrift at a price of 11/1 for the win, with the unlikely draw option at 4/1.

Manchester City have scored in 13 successive Premier League matches; the lbest result of a team in the competition this season. We expect them to breach the back line today. Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic are both fighting for a return to fitness. The team have a great chance to win this game because lot of their best players will be on the field tonight.

Palace can only dream of a victory at the moment, but the match against one of the best teams in Premier League will be very dificult for them. They are without a win in the last four stages, having picked up only one win in their last six games with Liverpool(3-1) . They have failed to score in two of their last three games as well. Fraizer Campbell scored three goals in his two Premier League matches. Palace hover perilously close to the relegation zone and but Warnock is expert at setting up teams to keep out others. If they can find the key to stopping City, perhaps they can inspire the Eagles to leave Manchester with an early Christmas present. At the end of the day though, it doesn’t look too likely that the Eagles are going to have the punch going forward to really trouble the Citizens, who are bang in form at the moment.
