Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City: Match Preview

Man City's advancing encounter against West Ham has been followed by two point losses in the Premier League, as the defeat by Everton with 5-0 and 2-2 draw to Tottenham aren't the results that Pep Guardiola wishes to see his team earning at all this season. Furthermore, that tie match against the visiting Spurs brought lots of both positive and frustrating emotions to both teams, because the Cities were leading the game by all indicators, even twice left the opposition team behind with scoring from Leroy Sane and Kevin De Bruyne at the first minutes of the second half, but they were not able to secure the advantage as 2-0, 20 minutes later conceding two goals and being put thorough the situation in which not every football club in England wants to be, especially when playing at home.

Nevertheless, as for Crystal Palace, they had to play out another cup duel with Bolton which came three days after a 3-0 defeat by West Ham at away, therefore they did not look fresh in their last home outing where "The Eagles" once again tasted a 0-1 defeat, but that time by Everton, whose playing form goes up on a higher level.

Frankly saying, Crystal Palace are not that successful at home as well, because they pulled off just two wins from their last nine occasions, having lost seven of all those. It's kind of hesitating for newly assigned Sam Allardyce who has been the head manager over a month so far. On the other side, the situation Pep Guardiola's in isn't any better as a team which is set for the championship title, or its other prizewinning spots.

Expecting the very first squads established by both coaches doesn't look relevant because another Premier league round is on the eve, when on Tuesday Crystal Palace will hit the road to Bournemouth whilst, as well as "The Glaziers", Manchester City will have a match at West Ham a day later. So it's not calling for the teams to lay weapons down, but some of the players should be reserved to rest.
