On Saturday afternoon, there's Premier League action at Etihad Stadium, the home of a Man City team that continues to struggle, at least by the incredibly lofty standards set by Pep Guardiola's serial winners over the last few years. Saturday's hosts failed to get the job done against a very weak Man United team last time out, which is no the first time that they've disappointed their fans in recent times, winning only two of their last five games, losing to Nottingham Forest and tying with Brighton during that time.
Meanwhile, the Eagles have been flying high. Oliver Glasner's well-oiled machine continued to function pleasingly last time out, picking up three points against Brighton. That positive result marked seven gamaes without defeat in all competitions. They've won six of those seven, picking up notable wins against the likes of UEFA Champions League quarter finalists Aston Villa. In other words, they'll probably fancy themselves to make headway in this fixture.

Our Manchester City vs Crystal Palace Prediction
We all know that this is no longer the Man City of old, so we really shouldn't be surprised if an in-form and well-equipped counter-attacking side such as Crystal Palace does some damage at the Etihad on Sunday, when Eberechi Eze is likely to play another big role. The playmaker continues to pull the strings for the Eagles, scoring two and assisting three in his last four appearances. In such form, odds of +220 are worth taking. Our Man City vs Crystal Palace Pick: Eberechi Eze to Score or Assist.
