The Manchester outfit were on a three-match winning run in the Premier League before a 3-3 draw at Everton. City had over 1.53 XG in those four fixtures.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Man City (4-2-3-1): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Matheus Nunes, Marc Guehi, Nathan Ake, Nico O'Reilly; Nico Gonzelez, Bernardo Silva; Antoine Semenyo, Rayan Cherki, Jeremy Doku; Erling Haaland
Defender Abdukodir Khusanov missed the Brentford game with a knock and is doubtful for the Palace match.
Midfielder Rodri and defender Josko Gvardiol could return on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola explained that Gvardiol has recently returned to training following a broken leg and said, “He’s training and feels good.”
“It’s been many months, last season he was an important player for us with many injuries, he plays all the games, but the body says at one moment enough is enough.”
Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1): Dean Henderson; Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix, Jaydee Canvot; Daniel Munoz, Adam Wharton, Daichi Kamada, Tyrick Mitchell; Ismaila Sarr, Yeremy Pino; Jean Philippe-Mateta
Wing-back Borna Sosa and forward Evann Guessand could return to the squad following recent injuries.
Attacker Edward Nketiah is out with a hamstring issue and midfielder Cheick Doucoure is also sidelined due to injury.
Verdict
Man City are in-form at the Etihad and can keep winning against a patchy Crystal Palace side. Both slides get amongst the goals and a high-scoring Citizens victory is the best bet.
