Man City vs Crystal Palace: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, odds

A remarkable clash with Brighton produced three red cards, of which two were for Palace players, leaving Marc Guehi and Eddie Nketiah suspended for this game. There are also injury concerns over Maxence Lacroix.

Palace have been somewhat of a bogey team for Pep Guardiola in recent years with City dropping points in four of their last seven meetings.

Man City vs Crystal Palace is scheduled for a 12.30pm BST kick-off today, Saturday, April 12, 2025.

The match will take place at Etihad Stadium.

Live stream: Fans can catch the contest live online via the Discovery+ app and website.

Man City XI: Ederson, Lewis, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Nico, Kovacic, Gundogan, De Bruyne, McAtee, Marmoush

Subs: Ortega, Grealish, Doku, Bernardo, Reis, Savinho, Nunes, Khusanov, Bobb

Crystal Palace XI: Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Lerma, Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell, Sarr, Eze, Mateta

Subs: Matthews, Ward, Clyne, Chilwell, Kporha, Hughes, Devenny, Franca, Umeh

Crystal Palace may be heading to the Etihad with a patched-up defence, which will have a significant impact on the result. Even a disjointed attack, which City have been guilty of this season, will be relishing facing a backline missing Marc Guehi and, potentially, Maxence Lacroix.

But Palace’s attack will also be licking their lips at the prospect of facing a City defence which has on averaged conceded more than a goal a game – a far cry from seasons past.
