Man CITY vs CRYSTAL PALACE

Crystal Palace were one of only two sides to win at the Etihad in the Premier League last season.

Both teams to score (yes) is a very appealing 11/10 chance with Patrick Vieira's side are 12/1 to repeat last year's trick and influct a first defeat of the season on City. If Manchester City had a bogey side in the Premier League last season it was surely Crystal Palace.

Predicted line-up as Manchester City host Crystal Palace at the Etihad on Saturday on the back of two 3-3 draws against Newcastle and Barcelona.

Stones saw his first start of the season against Newcastle and couldn’t we tell. A surprise return for “Calves Out” after missing games against Newcastle and Barcelona due to injury. Blues will be hoping for a better result than the same fixture last season when Laporte was shown the door and Palace won by two goals to zero. I am going to remind everyone of how important he is to us. I am not going to talk about his most recent performance. On the back of two 3-3 draws, fans will be hoping to see more alert and solid defensive performances, and more control in midfield.

Man City have a host of injuries that is leaving them notably thin at the back and Pep Guardiola with little manoeuvrability.

John Stones eventually came off the bench in the second half as [Pep Guardiola](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/pep-guardiola) tried to save energy ahead of Crystal Palace on Saturday. Young centre-back Luke Mbete only travelled back from Barcelona on Friday after suffering a nasty head clash in the Nou Camp encounter. Barring any further problems, City should be able to line up with a back four of Walker, Stones, Dias and Joao Cancelo in front of Ederson. Although the setback is not serious, the England star may not be ready in time for the weekend.

Crystal Palace will score, but Manchester City will certainly win the game and break their streak of bad luck against the Eagles.

Manchester City play their fourth Premier League game of the season on Saturday and our writers have had their say on how City should line up.

Ideally he'd like to start Grealish, but his injury issues make it likely that Foden starts on the left wing and Riyad Mahrez on the right. Riyad Mahrez has had to be patient for opportunities but could do with coming in and starting a game. While it got overrun at Newcastle, the midfield trio that have started the season so well deserve to carry on.

Manchester City vs Crystal Palace: The defending Premier League champions will try to get back to winning ways when they host the Eagles on Saturday.

QUESTIONABLE: Jack Grealish (knee), Nathan Ake (groin) [STREAM LIVE MANCHESTER CITY vs CRYSTAL PALACE](https://www.peacocktv.com/sports/premier-league?cid=2101sportsplsymedi1959&utm_campaign=2101sportspl&utm_source=nbcsports&utm_medium=sym_editorial_seoopt_article&utm_term=nbcsportsseo&utm_content=premierleague) Three games into his Manchester City career, Haaland has three goals and one assist to his name, with Kevin De Bruyne off to a similarly red-hot start (one goal and three assists). After keeping back-to-back clean sheets to start the season, it was rather shocking to see Man City concede three goals (in a span of 26 minutes, no less), regardless of opponent. After Saturday, the Eagles will have already played half of the big-six sides after just four weeks, with tricky challenges against Brentford and Newcastle preceding a visit from Manchester United to round out their first seven games. It also saw Crystal Palace pick up their first win of the season as they beat Aston Villa 3-1.

Manchester City vs Crystal Palace predicted lineups Manchester Citys predicted lineup (4-3-3): Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyn.

The Premier League match between Manchester City and Crystal Palace will kick off on Saturday, August 27 at 15:00 BST - local time in England. Fans in the United States will be able to watch the match live on fuboTV. They won here last season and Crystal Palace have the lead already today. Kevin de Bruyne is inside the box and tests the palms of Vicente Guaita. It's still 1-0 to Crystal Palace. After Ederson saved from a long-range Doucoure strike, he rolled the ball out into the body of Edouard and Ayew then pounced to score.

Follow every kick of Manchester City's Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium.

Erling Haaland raises his boot high to try and get a ball he was never going to reach and catches Andersen studs up in the side of his head. Guardiola is going spare on the touchline, desperately wanting more width from his team and in particular the left. City have all the possession now and the game is being played exclusively in Palace's half. Riyad Mahrez meets a deep cross and heads it back into the centre. It's hard to see a way through. City are getting a bit panicked here. Guardiola must be happier to have decided against the double substitution that he was planning. Simply register, place an acca on football or horse racing and if it goes down, you will get a FREE BET of the same value, up to a max of £30! When they were trailing at Newcastle, Guardiola wanted them to slow things down and not rush. Aymeric Laporte is already out long-term with City not expecting a return for him for at least another month. What a noise. Two full-backs off for attackers.

Gundogan then played Haaland in behind for his third of the game and the striker showed his strength and clinical nature to end the game. Riyad Mahrez came into the City side as Ilkay Gundogan dropped to the bench. Crystal Palace are without Wilfried Zaha for the trip to City. Haaland then scored a 20-minute hattrick to give his side the win. Eze was the player of the first half after he helped Crystal Palace to a 2-0 lead. His corner 15 minutes later was then headed low into the goal by Andersen. It is the first time Man City have come back from a 2-0 deficit at half-time to pick up a win in the Premier League. They will play Nottingham Forest in their next game while Crystal Palace take on Brentford at home.
