What to expect from Manchester City and Crystal Palace.
This has been a matchup largely dominated by Manchester City even before the money started rolling into the club.
Dating back to 1999, Crystal Palace has beaten City just twice.
It’s doubtful that record will change given the statuses of these two clubs.
Manchester City is flying high with wins in their past four matches (three Premier League, one Champions League), including a memorable 5-0 drubbing of Liverpool on Sept. 9.
It looks as though the Manchester rivalry could be in full swing this year too, making every match extremely important to the Citizens. After five matches, both City and Manchester United are tied atop the table with 13 points and have a goal differential of plus-14.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, is in disarray.
The Eagles have yet to win a match…or score a goal this season. The 450 scoreless minutes have set a Premier League record for the longest goalless streak to ever start a season.
