In terms of statistics and head to head of the two teams so far, of course Manchester City is the favorite team to win the game, but they also should not underestimate Crystal Palace, which is now eyeing a victory to end their negative trend in the league, in terms of player quality, of course Manchester City is very superior to Crystal Palace, But that does not mean Crystal Palace will not be able to trouble Manchester City in the match later because in the previous match Crystal Palace managed to force Manchester City to draw 2-2.
I think the match will be an opportunity for Manchester City to get 3 points to be able to strengthen their chances as a candidate for the championship, because in addition to maybe having an easy match of course their chances to rise to the top of the table are wide open, because in other matches Arsenal will face Brighton who are relatively strong, so far Brighton has an impressive performance in the league and I think De Zerby will certainly be able to make Arsenal difficult in the game especially They will play at home, while the chances of Manchester City benefiting from the Liverpool vs Manchester United match are of course very large, because at this time Manchester United will be a tough opponent for Liverpool and reflecting on previous experience in the FA of course the chances of both teams winning the bigmatch match later are 50/50 and maybe a draw will be very realistic for both.
Never use head to head when you are talking about teams that may have a lot of difference from last year to this year. Obviously this one doesn't have that, we are talking about City still being by far better team, nothing changed since last year between these two clubs, but in other cases it may not be this obvious.
City is clearly the better team and will get the win without a doubt, in fact if they do not get the win then they are going to be in so much trouble as well. We are talking about a team that has to get the win every single time, and should be doing something that will be a lot better as well, without having this kind of result, we are not going to end up with something that will get them the title this season, so they have to win.
