Man City will be glad to be back at the Etihad after their frenetic draw with Newcastle at St James’ Park last weekend – but Saturday’s visitors proved a thorn in their side last season.
Crystal Palace took four points off the champions in 2021/22 – with a 2-0 win in October earning Patrick Vieira his first away league win as Eagles boss and then a goalless draw at Selhurst Park in March opening the door to Liverpool in the title race – and have made a confident start to the new campaign.
They claimed their first victory of the season against Aston Villa last time out, to add to the point they took at Anfield while they had their chances against Arsenal on the opening day.
It’s the Gunners that Man City will be looking to unseat at the top of the Premier League table on Saturday and a victory would likely see them do so – if only until Mikel Arteta’s side play Fulham later on that day.
Newcastle have shown that taking the game to Pep Guardiola’s side can bring success and Crystal Palace certainly have the attackers to do that – but that approach comes with its risks.

Our prediction: Man City v Crystal Palace
Allan Saint-Maximin wreaked havoc against Guardiola’s side last weekend, and a similar performance by Crystal Palace talisman Wilfried Zaha could make it a difficult afternoon.
Newcastle tried and nearly succeeded at toppling the champions by attacking with force but this team are rarely kept down for long.
We’ve seen them bounce back to winning ways in dramatic style time and time again in recent years, and Crystal Palace could be the victims this time.
Our prediction: Man City 3-0 Crystal Palace (7/1 at bet365)
