Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson has predicted the outcome of the Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Manchester City at Selhurst Park on Saturday (11 March). He has predicted a 2-0 victory for Pep Guardiola's team over Crystal Palace in his weekly Paddy Power column.Lawrenson justified his prediction by stating:''Crystal Palace are a bit all over the place and I thought Manchester City won pretty easily against Newcastle. If they had needed another goal, I think they would have got one. Pep Guardiola took off Kevin De Bruyne and one or two others and they were cruising.''Lawrenson predicted a 2-0 scoreline in favor of the defending champions and added:''An easy City win. Crystal Palace 0-2 Manchester City.''The Cityzens are currently five points behind table-toppers Arsenal in the Premier League title race. A win against Crystal Palace is essential if they hope to close the gap on the Gunners and stay in the title race.Matt Thorpe@Thorpedo22Premier League Predictions: Lawro fancies Man Utd, Arsenal & Chelsea wins news.paddypower.com/football/2023/…Premier League Predictions: Lawro fancies Man Utd, Arsenal & Chelsea wins news.paddypower.com/football/2023/…City's recent form has been impressive as they have won four out of their last five league games.

They have struggled to find consistency and are currently 12th in the league table. Although they are underdogs, Crystal Palace are more than capable of getting a result when the team clicks.
