Insights:
  • Manchester City have the most scored goals (69) in Premier League

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Champions League game only three days ago. That game, against Paris Saint Germain, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Manchester City.

Crystal Palace form and stats

5 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Crystal Palace have to build on here at Selhurst Park in the Premier League.

The fans are hoping that Palace will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Premier League game against Leicester City (placed 3rd). Preceding that match was a defeat to Chelsea (1-4).

Crystal Palace has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Palace defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 16 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Manchester City form and stats

Manchester City's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Manchester City, who have the most scored goals (69) in Premier League, collect 39 points from their 16 away matches in the Premier League. 12 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Tottenham Hotspur game have they lost an away game, meaning City has taken points from eleven away matches in a row.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup.

After this away game Manchester City return home for a Champions League game against Paris Saint Germain. That game is only three sleeps after this.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, City are regular goalscorers on their travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Manchester City - Palace 4-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Palace, two draws and seven wins for Manchester City. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
