The EPL returns this week with a full set of intriguing matches including the reigning champions Manchester City FC visiting Crystal Palace.
Manchester City FC
The two-time reigning English Premier League Champions started the season as the favourites to extend their league winning streak to three. However, this season has not gone as well as Pep Guardiola had hoped for, as they are trailing their rivals Liverpool FC by 8 points after only 8 matches.
In their last game against Wolves, the Citizens were shockingly poor and were surprisingly beaten by two goals. In that game, Manchester City FC had 18 shots, but only 2 were on target.
City fans must hope that the City players will have their shooting boots on this weekend so that they can avoid another embarrassing defeat, and worse than that, falling further behind the undefeated Liverpool FC. It’s tough to admit, but anything apart from a league title this season would be considered a failure for the Citizens, so expectations are high and the pressure is on.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace came into this season hoping to finish in the top ten, having finished 12th the season before and 11th the season before that. So far, they have done just that, as they currently sit in sixth place with 14 points (only 2 behind Man. City) after 8 matchdays.

Crystal Palace come into this game with back-to-back wins, having beaten Norwich City at home and West Ham United away. If they pull off a shock win on Saturday, they can leapfrog the Citizens into second place.
Roy Hodgson has instilled a winning mentality in his team and managed one of the club’s biggest wins in recent times by beating Man City 3-2 away at the Etihad stadium last season. He hopes to continue the team’s success this season by beating the Citizens once more, this time at home.
Free Manchester City FC vs Crystal Palace EPL Prediction:
With their recent struggles and having fallen off the title race by 8 points, you can expect Pep Guardiola’s team to come out with full force this game. However, with Sane and Laporte out with injuries, and De Bruyne, Mendy, and Stones all in doubt of being healthy in time for the game, this match might prove to be a tough one for the Citizens.
I expect Crystal Palace to be pushed back at the beginning of the game, but they can hit back through fast counter attacks and punish the often leaky City defense. In addition, Roy Hodgson often performs admirably against the big six, with Palace beating Manchester United at Old Trafford this season already.
It might be a long shot, but with the Manchester City attackers misfiring and the confident form that Crystal Palace players are in at the moment, I predict Crystal Palace scoring first and holding on for dear life to win the game by one goal. With the odds of a Crystal Palace win at a whopping +1000, this might be the time to make a risky, yet bold call.
