Considering the positions in the Premier League table, the match between Crystal Palace and Manchester City at Selhurst Park will be one of the main fixtures of Matchday 16.
Crystal Palace surprisingly sit fourth in the standings. The London side climbed so high thanks to several recent victories. However, if we look closely at their opponents, the achievement becomes less impressive: Fulham, Burnley, and Wolverhampton are all teams from the lower part of the table.
Last week, Manchester City took advantage of Arsenal’s defeat and reduced the gap to just two points. The team has become less dependent on their Norwegian striker, which brought more stability to their overall performance.

Prediction for the Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
Crystal Palace will benefit from home advantage and positive morale within the squad. However, they still lack strong results against top clubs. Manchester City are superior in every key aspect: pace, attacking force, midfield creativity, and even defensive stability. It should not be too difficult for City to take control of this match.
Prediction: Manchester City to win.
