Man City could pile the pressure on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League standings on Dec 14, if they are able to claim a victory at Crystal Palace. Find our picks here.
It has been a memorable period for Pep Guardiola’s side, as they have registered wins in each of their last three EPL fixtures to move within two points of the Gunners at the summit.
Palace have also won back-to-back games in the competition, seeing them sit in the lofty position of fourth in the current standings.

Oliver Glasner has done a remarkable job at Crystal Palace, which was highlighted by winning the FA Cup Final against Man City at the end of last season.
However, the team could have loftier ambitions this term, as their consistency has seen them emerge as a potential Champions League contender. The Eagles have been incredibly hard to beat this term, losing on just three occasions.
Only Arsenal have suffered fewer defeats than Glasner’s side. Confidence levels should also be high after winning each of their last two. However, it should be worth noting that Palace are yet to win following a European matchday so far this season.

Man City were overlooked by many as potential title contenders this term, but they are emerging as the leading danger to Arsenal at the summit.
Guardiola’s side have won each of their last three in the league, leaving them just two points adrift of the Gunners. A sign of the team being back to their very best was also available in midweek, as City dominated proceedings to claim a 2-1 success on the road against Real Madrid.
Erling Haaland scored in the win, taking his tally for the season across all competitions to a remarkable 21 in as many appearances.

| Games | 30 | 4 | 21 | 5 |
| Goals | 97 | 25 | 72 |
Crystal Palace’s record following European fixtures is a major concern ahead of this clash. Meanwhile, they have won just three of their last 26 EPL fixtures against City.
Selhurst Park has also been a happy hunting ground for the visitors, with City winning on eleven of their last 16 trips. The trends point to an away win when making Crystal Palace vs. Man City picks.
