Another interesting match of the second round of the English Premier League will take place at Selhurst Park in London, where Crystal Palace will face Manchester City.
Crystal Palace started the season with a 2-0 away defeat to Everton. Despite the fairly comfortable scoreline, the game was even, and the visitors actually enjoyed more possession. However, Everton were more clinical when their scoring opportunities arrived, which secured them the victory.
The first round was not easy for the Citizens either, as they hosted a stubborn Bournemouth side at their stadium. The beginning of the match did not go well for City, with the visitors taking the lead in the 26th minute thanks to an accurate strike from their attacking midfielder Marcus Tavernier. Bournemouth then had excellent chances to double their advantage, but they were just a little unlucky.
Only toward the very end of the game did Manchester City manage to equalize through a goal from Marc Guéhi. Then, in stoppage time, they moved ahead after a precise strike from Joško Gvardiol. However, the winning goal might not have counted if the referee had not overturned his initial offside decision after reviewing the replay.

Prediction for the Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
Despite losing their opening game of the season, Crystal Palace showed good football against a solid top-flight English team. Manchester City looked unconvincing last week after losing their head coach and several key players, but despite this, they managed to get the necessary result.
I think the visitors will have a very difficult time, but by fighting hard and grinding it out, they should once again get the result they want. My pick is a bet on Manchester City to win.
