Crystal Palace vs Man City preview
It was the result Enzo Maresca was looking for when beating Bournemouth on the opening day.

But with seven minutes to go, the headlines were being written about the Pep Guardiola-sized hole in the Manchester City dressing room.
Late Marc Guehi and Josko Gvardiol goals secured the opening day victory, with the latter deployed in a midfield slot, such is the lack of bodies in that area with Rodri and Nico González’s departures.
But the midweek signing of exciting teenager, Ayyoub Bouaddi will help plug that midfield gap and provide a better balance you would expect.
So City now have a chance to make it two wins from two to start the season against a Crystal Palace side beaten on the opening day.
Pierre Sage’s men lost at Everton on the opening weekend and despite dominating possession, found themselves conceding more shots at goal and on target across the 90 minutes, leading to the two goals scored either side of half time.

Crystal Palace vs Man City predictions and tips
Tip 1: Rayan Cherki to score or assist at 10/11 with Sky Bet
Short odds for the first selection but his impact last weekend can’t be ignored.
Jack Grealish also came on moments before the two turnaround goals were scored but Frenchman Cherki was involved in both, setting up Guehi and Gvardiol.
Was only given last half hour that day but offered more in final third than those he replaced and no surprise to see him in from the start and taking advantage too.
Tip 2: Man City 3+ shots on target in each half at 13/8 with Sky Bet
Just the six shots on target last weekend from 13 taken, with two in the first half and four in the second.
Have to improve on that and surely will do after last weekend’s fright.
Palace conceded two on target in first half last week and three after the break from Everton’s 16 shots in the game.
