Manchester City vs Crystal Palace Tips, Premier League Predictions & Odds
Manchester City will look to keep the pressure on title rivals Arsenal against Crystal Palace at the Etihad on Wednesday evening.
Some late drama at the London Stadium saw the Gunners grab a 1-0 win away to West Ham last Sunday to re-establish a five-point gap at the top of the table, and seemingly in control of their destiny.
Palace, meanwhile, who were held in a 2-2 draw at home to Everton, have little to play for, but that makes them dangerous opponents.
We’ve rummaged through the markets and sprinkled some tips as well as shared the best free bet offers for you to latch onto.
Manchester City vs Crystal Palace Tips
Here are our top three football betting tips ahead of tonight's game at the Etihad.
Tip 1: Man City to Win and Both Teams to Score
After the disappointment of dropping points away to Everton, City bounced back, but they were made to work hard against an obdurate Brentford.
Indeed, it took them until the hour mark to break the deadlock, but they ended up running out comfortable 3-0 winners.
Palace are no strangers to disrupting title challenges, and Liverpool found that out to their cost in 2014 when they squandered a 3-0 lead at Selhurst Park in the final 11 minutes of the game.
That said, the omens don’t bode well for Palace who have lost three of their past four league games against City.
Palace’s last trip to the Etihad saw them succumb to a 5-2 defeat, and City have now extended their unbeaten run in the top flight to 13 games (W9 D4). I think City to prevail & BTTS is worth pursuing.
Tip 2: Jeremy Doku anytime scorer
Instrumental in the final stages of the campaign, Jeremy Doku has fired four goals in his past three matches in all competitions.
The Belgian has now scored in back-to-back Premier League games for the first time in his City career. Against the Bees (his 85th appearance in the competition), he became just the third player this term to register six or more chances and complete six or more dribbles in a league match this season.
Doku has a penchant for providing sublime finishes, and given his spellbinding brilliance lately, I fancy the winger to score anytime.
Tip 3: Jeremy Doku anytime scorer, Man City Over 8.5 shots on target, Own Goal (Yes)
Doku has the bit between his teeth, and as one of City’s main attacking threats, he could bulge the net again.
City have had few problems fashioning out chances against Palace, registering nine shots on target in their past two home encounters, so Over 8.5 shots on target seems attainable.
Bump up this bet builder with there to be an own goal. Palace have conceded two own goals this term, and while a player hasn’t put through their own net in this fixture since August 2022, that could change.
