Crystal Palace will be looking to bounce back when they welcome Manchester City in their second Premier League game of the season. The Eagles made a disappointing start, suffering a 2-0 defeat to Everton after being thoroughly outplayed by David Moyes’ side. Palace have nevertheless been stronger at home recently, winning 60% of their last 10 matches at Selhurst Park and scoring 2.00 goals per game. Chadi Riad is doubtful after picking up a knock on the opening day, with Takehiro Tomiyasu expected to step in if needed.
Manchester City, meanwhile, opened their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth, with Josko Gvardiol scoring the late winner. City dominated particularly in the first half and arrive in good spirits, having won five of their last 10 matches. Their attacking numbers are impressive, with Enzo Maresca's side averaging 1.95 xG over that period. City have also dominated this fixture historically, winning 21 of their last 30 meetings with Palace. Jeremy Doku remains sidelined, while summer signing Elliot Anderson should be fit.
Man City have the quality advantage and have dominated this fixture, winning 70% of the last 30 meetings. Therefore, Away Win should be considered, alongside Man City Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (the last 30 H2H meetings have produced over 2.5 goals in 63% of cases).
This Premier League match will be played on Friday 28 August 2026 at 20:00.
