Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Prediction and Betting Tips | 11th May 2023

Manchester City will look to pile up the pressure on Arsenal as they travel to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace's awful run of form has now got them perilously close to the relegation zone. For now, they are 12th in the Premier League table but only five points separate them and 18th-placed Everton.

They are yet to win a football match in 2023, with their last win in all competitions coming against Bournemouth on New Year's Eve. Patrick Vieira's men have gone 10 successive games without a win this year. Of their nine Premier League fixtures so far in 2023, Palace have lost four and drawn five.

The Eagles fell to a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa last weekend and it was yet another lackluster performance that did not warrant a positive result.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are hot on the trail of league leaders Arsenal. Pep Guardiola's side are currently five points behind the Gunners and cannot afford to slip up. The Ctyzens have rediscovered their free-scoring form and have looked comfortable putting teams to the sword of late.

They weren't at their dominant best last weekend though but still managed to eke out a 2-0 win over Newcastle United. City have won seven of their 13 Premier League away matches so far this season and will be glad to have a relatively easy opponent to face on Saturday.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Prediction

Manchester City look determined to take the title race down to the wire. Arsenal will play Fulham on Sunday and City could potentially be just two points behind them by then. The importance of putting Arsenal under pressure ahead of what could be a tricky game against Fulham won't be lost on Guardiola and Co.

Palace appear to be too meek an opponent for City in their current form.

Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-2 Manchester City
