Manchester City take on Crystal Palace in a postponed game knowing anything less than victory could seriously damage their Premier League title ambitions. As Palace have little to play for in Wednesday's clash, we predict a 3-0 home win. Pep Guardiola’s side produced another dominant display in the 3-0 win over Brentford last time out, with Jeremy Doku starring in attack. The Citizens are in formidable form, winning seven of their last 10 matches and averaging 2.20 goals per game during that spell. Their home record is even stronger, boasting an 80% win rate and 3.20 total goals per match at the Etihad. The only concern for the hosts is the fitness of Rodri, who remains doubtful after missing the Brentford clash.
The Eagles, meanwhile, have already secured Premier League safety and could rotate key players, with Borna Sosa and Evann Guessand both doubts. Palace have been entertaining recently, with 80% of their away games seeing both teams score, but defensive issues remain evident as they concede an average of 2.00 goals per away match. As the visitors are with one eye on the upcoming Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano, away win should not be considered. City have dominated this fixture historically, winning 20 of the last 29 meetings between the sides.
Given Man City’s home form and motivation, we predict a routine Home Win, alongside Jeremy Doku to Score or Assist and Over 2.5 goals (62% of recent H2H meetings have produced at least three goals).
This Premier League match will be played on Wednesday 13 May 2026 at 20:00.
