THE LOWDOWN
MAN CITY
- Any hopes of a quadruple for Man City this season went up in smoke midweek after they were beaten on penalties away at West Ham in Carabao Cup following a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes.
- Ferran Torres and Liam Delap remain out for Man City, with boss Pep Guardiola expected to tinker with his starting line-up once again.
CRYSTAL PALACE
- Crystal Palace have established themselves as quite the draw specialists in recent weeks with their last four Premier League fixtures all ending level, the latest a 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle.
- Apart from Eberechi Eze and Nathan Ferguson, who have been absent all season so far, Patrick Viera has a full-strength squad to choose from.

THE PREDICTION
Stung after defeat midweek, Man City will be out to make a statement against Crystal Palace and maintain their excellent Premier League form this season which has seen them win six, draw two and lose just one of their nine games played so far. Crystal Palace have already been comprehensively beaten away Man City’s title rivals Chelsea and Liverpool this season in the Premier League and when taking into account the strength-in-depth of Guardiola’s squad and the individual quality of the personnel he has to choose from, a similar result has to be favoured here at the Etihad Stadium, so back Man City to triumph against the Eagles by at least two clear goals.
Tip: MAN CITY TO WIN WITH A -1 HANDICAP
