Man City will be aiming to get their Champions League push back on track this weekend when they host Crystal Palace in the Premier League. You can find our picks here.

The champions have dropped to sixth in the standings following a 0-0 draw against Man United last Sunday. City have now failed to win in three of their last four matches.

Crystal Palace could yet have their sights set on a European finish this season. The Eagles have won four of their last five in the Premier League, and they are just two points adrift of the top half of the standings.

Man City boasts an excellent record against Crystal Palace, having avoided defeat in the last six Premier League meetings between the sides.

However, they have failed to win in three of their last five home matches against the Eagles. Last season, Palace gained a 2-2 draw in this exact fixture.

Man City vs. Crystal Palace Picks

Crystal Palace have a fine away record against Man City. City are too short in the betting for my liking this weekend, especially considering how inconsistent they have been throughout the campaign.

Therefore, there could be value in siding with an entertaining draw being played out between the champions and the Eagles at the Etihad.
