Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Manchester City
- Odds: -157 (Tonybet)
Manchester City nearly followed in the footsteps of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, as they came only a few minutes away from opening the 2026/27 Premier League season with a defeat.
However, a late comeback sparked by goals from Marc Guehi and Josko Gvardiol lifted the Citizens to a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in manager Enzo Maresca’s first EPL match at City’s helm.
Crystal Palace weren’t close to matching that output, and Pierre Sage’s men suffered a disappointing 2-0 away loss at Everton. The Eagles are depleted compared to their 2025/26 version, and they looked completely overmatched this past weekend at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Things aren’t likely to change here given Palace’s subpar head-to-head record against Manchester City.
Manchester City are undefeated in their last nine Premier League matches against Crystal Palace (W6, D3), and they won the two head-to-head meetings last season by identical 3-0 scores. City are also undefeated in their last seven away Premier League fixtures (W4, D3), and, given that they have a stronger squad than Palace’s, it’s hard to see anything other than a win for the Citizens.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Erling Haaland to score anytime
- Odds: -145 (Tonybet)
Erling Haaland didn’t find the back of the net for Manchester City in their season-opening victory over Bournemouth, meaning the Norwegian star remains winless after two games in the 2026/27 season.
However, Haaland scored 27 goals in 35 league appearances in 2025/26, so he’s bound to end his drought sooner rather than later. He’s an excellent value play against Palace’s depleted defence.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Manchester City to win + Both teams to score + Over 3.5 goals
- Odds: +320 (Tonybet)
Manchester City should rely on their impressive away record, their head-to-head history, and their superior squad to secure the victory in this match. However, it wouldn’t be surprising if this is a game that sees both teams find the back of the net.
Manchester City have conceded goals in their last four competitive matches, and the defence hasn’t looked dominant in the first two games of the 2026/27 campaign.
The over on the 3.5-goal market should also be in play. That outcome has happened in four of the last seven head-to-head meetings, and six of those seven contests have had at least three goals.
With Manchester City having enough firepower to dismantle any defence but also looking subpar at the back, a game with lots of goals can’t be ruled out, especially since Palace are in dire need of a victory as well.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Team News
Crystal Palace Team News
Crystal Palace are uncertain whether Daniel Muñoz will be available for this clash. The veteran right-back has been linked with a move to Everton before the end of the transfer window, but no deal has been agreed upon yet. Until further notice, he remains part of Palace’s squad and could be an option to feature here.
Star winger Ismaila Sarr is dealing with a groin injury that kept him out of the league opener, and his availability for this clash is uncertain given the relatively quick turnaround. As for Chadi Riad, who left the loss to Everton on a stretcher, he’s out and could miss multiple months due to a serious knee injury.
Manchester City Team News
The lone confirmed absence for Manchester City is Jeremy Doku, as the winger is set to remain a bit longer on the sidelines while nursing a calf injury. The absence of the Belgium international means players such as Phil Foden and Jack Grealish could be in line for expanded roles on the right side of the attack.
Savinho (illness) and Ryan McAidoo (shoulder) are not expected to be involved due to injuries, though in Savinho’s case, he’s pushing to complete a move to Tottenham Hotspur before the end of the transfer window. Omar Marmoush (Tottenham) and Nico González (Newcastle United) could also be sidelined due to pending transfers.
