Command Analysis
Crystal Palace
EnglandCurrent form
After a disastrous start, Crystal Palace are gradually climbing out of the hole. In the last five rounds, the Londoners suffered only one defeat, when they lost to Fulham in the derby at home (0:2). In this period, they had two draws and one win. They managed to win in the last round away to Ipswich with a minimum score of 1:0, although the game as a whole was largely equal, but the "glaziers" used one of their few chances, unlike their opponents.
In the league table, thanks to six points earned in the last five rounds, Oliver Glasner team has pulled away from the relegation zone by three points, but is still only in 17th place, although in recent years they have accustomed their fans to the fact that they are a solid mid-table team.
It should be noted that Eberechi Eze returned from the infirmary, which significantly strengthened the attacking power. Plus, we managed to stabilize the game in defense. There was only one missed goal against Newcastle (1:1), and we played to zero against Ipswich.
Disqualifications and injuries
Riyad, Wharton and Franca will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Crystal Palace have not lost in the first half in four of their last five matches
- Six of the Glaziers' previous eight Premier League games have seen two or fewer goals scored

Manchester City
EnglandCurrent form
The previous round in the Premier League was significant for Manchester City. The team was on a seven-match winless streak in all competitions, but managed to break this losing streak at the Etihad. The Citizens beat Nottingham Forest 3-0. We should note the significant contribution to the victory by Kevin de Bruyne, who made an accurate pass and scored a goal. It is also worth noting that for the first time in a long time, they managed to play a clean sheet in defense, with the opponent making only three shots on target.
https://www.mancity.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Manchester City are fourth in the standings after 14 rounds, with 26 points. They are two points behind Chelsea and Arsenal, who are ahead. It will not be easy to catch up with leaders Liverpool, given the difference of nine points, but there is still a long way to go in the tournament. It is undoubtedly important not to lose points now, especially in confrontations with opponents who are inferior in class.
In the Champions League, the Citizens will also have to make up for lost time. Let us recall that in the previous round, they managed to lose a three-goal lead in a match with Feyenoord (3:3). As a result, after five rounds, they are only in 17th place in the table and have eight points. Ahead is an away game with Juventus.
Disqualifications and injuries
Injured and out today are Kovacic, Stones, Rodri and Bobb, with Foden appearance in doubt.

- Six of City previous seven Premier League games have seen no more than three goals scored
