Crystal Palace vs Manchester City: Premier League preview, team news, stats and head-to-head – BBC Sport

Crystal Palace have won just two of their last 18 Premier League games against Man City (D4 L12), with both wins coming at the Etihad Stadium (December 2018 and October 2021).

Manchester City have won seven of their last nine Premier League away games against Crystal Palace (D2) since a 2-1 defeat in April 2015.

Since Pep Guardiola moved to Man City in 2016, Crystal Palace have scored multiple goals against the Citizens in six different Premier League games – only Tottenham (9) have scored more goals in that time.

Having won five of their seven Premier League home games under Oliver Glasner last season (D1 L1), Crystal Palace have won just one of their seven home games at Selhurst Park so far this season (D3 L3).

Manchester City have lost their last five away games in all competitions, most recently losing six in a row in February 1994. The last reigning top flight champions to lose six consecutive away games was Man City themselves in the 1968/69 season.

Manchester City have lost their last three away games in the Premier League, conceding exactly two goals each time. They last lost four times in a row away from home in April 2015 and most recently in February 2004, conceding multiple goals each time (a run of five).

Both of Crystal Palace’s Premier League wins this season have been 1-0, with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring the winner in each. In fact, the Frenchman has scored in eight of the Eagles’ nine league wins under Oliver Glasner.

Erling Haaland has scored in all three Premier League games for Manchester City against Crystal Palace, with his first hat-trick in the competition coming against the Eagles in August 2022.

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored in each of his last two Premier League games against Man City (two goals). No Palace player has ever scored in three games in a row against City or in three games in a row against the reigning Premier League champions.
