Crystal Palace Preview – Can the Eagles avoid a third straight defeat?
Crystal Palace ended last season in woeful form, so Roy Hodgson will be desperate to see his side finish this campaign on a high. However, the Londoners head into Saturday’s game against the runaway leaders having picked up just one win from their past seven.
Palace have taken one point from their past three and have lost two on the spin. After a poor 4-1 home reverse to a rampant Chelsea, the Eagles let a lead slip to lose 2-1 to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Monday.
Nevertheless, Palace will survive comfortably in the end. Since arriving back in the top flight in 2013, the south London outfit have not had too many relegation worries. They are currently in 13th spot with 38 points to their name, winning ten, drawing eight and losing 14.
Manchester City Preview – Citizens to romp to victory in London?
Last weekend, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City picked up yet another EFL Cup, beating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Wembley Stadium. With City miles clear at the top of the Premier League and through to the last four of the UEFA Champions League, can Pep’s boys pull off a famous treble this season?
After a shock 2-1 home loss to Leeds United, Man City hit back with a 2-1 victory at Aston Villa in their last Premier League game. They were behind after 20 seconds, but goals from Phil Foden and Rodri turned the game on its head. Since a 1-1 home draw with West Bromwich Albion in December, City have won all bar two of their following 21 Premier League matches.
