City Predictions

[Wisbech Eagle]

With Sarr, Munoz and Mateta out already we’re well under strength anyway

From what Glasner said it looks as though Sarr will play a part, probably off the bench if needed. Mateta should be fit, though with his current loss of form he might too not start. Uche did well in Dublin and will be full of confidence.

 

[Jim_Cannon]

Glasner is going out to win this game as he always does, that is his mentality and why we are being so successful. I fancy us to get something out of the game and a draw

 

[wilelliott88]

Glasner's tactics will be spot on. A bit of luck & some quality performances im going 2-1!

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

Man C gave Real Madrid significant problems down the left with Nico O'Reilly and Jeremy Doku.
Nathaniel Clyne in the twilight of his career will be playing down that flank.
Man C will prove far too superior on the day.

I think you have hit the nail on the head with O'Reilly and Doku against Clyne, it will be interesting to see who Glasner puts in the Sarr role, as protection for Clyne, might be Devenny.

0-0, apologies to any neutrals watching.

Citeh looked frighteningly good against Real Madrid.
Had to keep reminding myself that we beat them 1-0 at Wembley.
However the man who made the final pass for the goal, Munoz, and the man who scored it, Eze, will both be missing.
So hoping against hope....

 

[Linford]

Yes I think our endeavours are about to catch up with us big time, we’re not great after a European night(Thursday to Millwall and Charlton fans) 😃 and with our injuries and city looking a bit better these days and with an extra day off……..0-3 to them I’m afraid

They’ve kind of had two extra days off in the end with our flight troubles 😅

CP 4-3 MC

Mateta, Mateta, Uche, Sarr
Haaland, Foden, Haaland

Lineup

Mateta
Uche Sarr
Mitchell Hughes Wharton Clyne
Guéhi Lacroix Richards
Hendo

Oli says JP and Ismaïla are in contention again. Brilliant news. I’m basing mine on them both being ready. Oli also told us after Shels that ‘Clyney’ will start this game, so assuming he wasn’t bluffing I’ve put him in.

Predicting an end-to-end game, hence the scoreline. City will be equal parts amazing and comical. They’ll start off the better of the clash but mistakes will creep in over the course of the 90, and we will edge it in those moments.

Two of the league’s best forwards will be on show and should be right up for it.

All in all a tasty game and another chance to solidify our top-four push, three games off the halfway point…

 

[Gary St.Andrews]

You would think a City win, but OG has worked Pep out. Clyne will have his work cut out tomorrow for sure so Chris will be the cover on the right. Going 1-1 big point!

 

[Hannes]

A free hit for me. I even take a battering as long as we win next Thursday and finish in top 8 in the Conference.

You and part time James must be in competition 🤦

 

[Stansferret]

We have no chance whatsoever.

1-0 Palace.

Problem is that our best player in the air, Richards, will then not be there to contest Haaland if Doku gets a cross in
We haven't lost any game this season by more than one goal so it should be tight. Wharton seems to have shaken off his injury and is back to his best, Pino is gradually improving and Uche looks promising so I wouldn't rule out a result (which realistically includes a draw) . An emphatic win without Munoz would be a real statement

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

Another tactical masterclass by Glasner, executed to near perfection by the players.
3 points and back into CL position in the league.
I don't feel entitled, but after decades of watching unrewarded effort, we finally have a team capable of performing consistently at the top level. Yes, it's a lean squad, but Palace are capable of anything at the moment. 👍

4-3 Bright Rielly Gray Pardew need i say more ,
ok I will , feels like 1990 30 December when we beat the mighty Liverpool 1-0 , this fixture could define our glorious rise ,
sadly I can't watch having Sunday lunch with my siblings ,
but a loss is not a bad thing we lost 9 lge games when we finished 3rd ok 42 lge games then but still , equal that or better will be a massive achievement COYP

 

[KCeee]

Palace 5 - Man City 1

A late consolation goal for them.
Could have been 7 or 8 for us if Mateta didn't miss those sitters.

 

[Gary St.Andrews]

Only Arsenal have better defensive record than us and looking at the stats, Man City are conceding more than they usually do. The bookies have Man City odds on to win, I’m still sticking with the 1-1 which looks like the bet. Go with JP to score at anytime and 1-1 as the bet! 👍

You’ve got a good chance of that coming in, I feel.

Personally I don’t bet on Palace games anymore, scared of jinxing things. We’ve been better than ever before since I made that decision, so you’re welcome everyone 😂😂

City have the best goals for record yet we have the second best defensive record. Between them Leeds and Fulham recently scored 6 against them, so their defence is vulnerable. I doubt they'll be playing the low block, so there'll be chances. Not sure we'll have enough in the tank and I fear their midfield will dominate, but I'm going for a draw 2-2.
