Both teams to score – Palace have found the net in six straight matches, while City continue to concede despite winning games.

Over 3.5 goals – the last four league meetings between these sides have all cleared this line.

Erling Haaland to score anytime – Haaland is back in rhythm and has an excellent scoring record against Palace.

Crystal Palace welcome Manchester City to Selhurst Park on Sunday, December 14 with confidence high again.

The Eagles have won three straight matches – in the English Premier League and Europa League – although their last home outing ended in defeat to Manchester United.

Even so, goals have not been an issue, with Palace scoring in each of their last six games.

Home form remains the slight concern. Palace have won just one of their last four league games at Selhurst Park, which makes this a tough moment to host the champions.

Oliver Glasner’s side famously beat City in last season’s FA Cup final, but league meetings with Guardiola’s team tend to follow a very different pattern.

Manchester City arrive in strong shape. They have won eight of their last ten matches across all competitions and are currently on a four-game winning run.

A midweek victory away at Real Madrid has only added to the momentum, while recent league wins over Fulham and Leeds showed their attacking edge once again.

What are the best bets for Crystal Palace vs Manchester City?

Both teams to score

Palace have scored in six straight matches and rarely sit back at home. City carry more than enough firepower to score themselves, but they continue to allow chances at the other end.

Over 3.5 goals

Goals tend to follow this fixture. Each of the last four Premier League meetings produced at least four goals, and City have scored three or more in seven of their last ten matches.

Erling Haaland to score anytime

Haaland has 15 goals in 15 league games this season and enjoys facing Palace. With City creating chances in volume again, he looks well placed to add to that record.
