Crystal Palace - Manchester City (Friday 22:00 EAT)
Preview:
Crystal Palace face a demanding first Premier League home fixture of the season as new manager Pierre Sage looks to secure his first league victory against Manchester City at Selhurst Park. The Eagles began their campaign with a 2-0 defeat to Everton, but the result arguably flattered their opponents. A return to Selhurst Park offers some encouragement given their strong home form since February. However, Palace are winless in their last eight league matches and have struggled against City, failing to win their last nine top-flight meetings. Their only victory over the Citizens in the last 10 encounters came in the memorable 1-0 FA Cup final triumph in 2025.
Manchester City arrive with confidence after overcoming Bournemouth 2-1 in a dramatic comeback during Enzo Maresca's first Premier League game in charge. After falling behind, City responded with late goals from Marc Guehi and Josko Gvardiol to secure all three points. However, their defensive vulnerabilities remain evident, having failed to keep a clean sheet under Maresca so far. Their away record also raises questions, with only four wins from their last 10 Premier League road matches in 2026. Nevertheless, City's strong historical record against Palace and their unbeaten run in all seven Premier League away games in London last season make them favourites, though Palace's attacking threat could make Friday's encounter a competitive affair.
