Manchester City – Crystal Palace: 6th May 2017

City fight for the podium with Liverpool and has a less played match and 3 points in the back. This is why Manchester will furiously attack a weak defensive of Palace, which is quite vulnerable to travel. In the past, City made a disappointing 2-2 on “Riverside” with Middlesbrough, while Palace lost home with Burnley, 0-2.

Attackers too good at the hosts

Sam Allardyce did wonders at the Palace, which seemed condemned at a time, but the batch quality would hardly allow him to block Aguero, De Bruyne, Silva and Sane. The motivation is on the part of the hosts, who should not confuse on “Etihad”. We are expecting goals in both halves, because the ball will always be in possession of the hosts and Crystal Palace’s defense is far from being impenetrable.

The English bets on City’s victory

After the victory with Liverpool (2-1), Palace scored two unmarked matches and relaxation settled in the London squad. Manchester City is unbeaten at home by 9 games and statistics indicate a goal match: in 5 of the last 6 stages played by City scored at least 3 goals, and Crystal Palace has been involved in spectacular games of 3 rounds. A Manchester City 3-0 score seems realistic here.

PROBABLE TEAMS

Man. City: Caballero – Navas, Stones, Kompany, Otamendi – Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Sane – Sterling, Aguero, G. Jesus

Crystal Palace: Hennessey – Ward, Kelly, Delaney, Van Aanholt – Zaha, Cabaye, Milivojevic, Puncheon, Townsend – Benteke
