Palace Vs Man City Preview
After Palace lost to Everton last weekend, new manager Pierre Sage will be looking for a much sharper and positive response on his home Premier League debut. Goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry meant the Eagles left Merseyside empty-handed in what was a disappointing performance.
Recently-appointed Man City boss Enzo Maresca entertained much better fortunes but the Bournemouth win didn’t come without its hairy moments. Marcus Tavernier gave the Cherries a first-half lead before England defender Marc Guehi and fellow defender Josko Gvardiol netted in the last six minutes.
Palace Vs Man City H2H Record
When it comes to the Crystal Palace vs Man City H2H record, the Cityzens come out on top with 41 wins in all competitions. Palace have 18 wins to their name with the spoils being shared on 17 occasions.
The Eagles most memorable victory came in the 2025 FA Cup final when Eberechi Eze scored the only goal of the game at Wembley. That was the south Londoner’s first major honour. Last season, City won both league games 3-0 with the most recent coming in May 2026.
Palace vs Man City H2H record:
- Palace wins – 18

Palace Vs Man City Team News
With the latest Ismaila Sarr transfer news continuing to earn column inches, Crystal Palace will have to make do without their star forward who still isn’t 100% fit. Therefore, Jean-Philippe Mateta will lead the attack with Dwight McNeil and Eddie Nketiah in support.
Phil Foden, Nico O’Reilly and Antoine Semenyo are set to play behind Erling Haaland for Man City. Jeremy Doku is out injured and record signing Elliot Anderson is rated 50/50. If he doesn’t start, Mateo Kovacic should get the nod.

Palace Vs Man City Preview
Pierre Sage has some sizable Oliver Glasner-shaped shoes to fill and we are predicting his task will get further away from him with Man City in town. The eight-time Premier League champions have a solid record in south London and although Enzo Maresca’s side left it late on MD1, we feel that they won’t have such troubles on Friday night.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-3 Man City (12/1)
