Man City vs Crystal Palace - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction
- Man City host Crystal Palace in the Premier League this Saturday
- The Cityzens are looking for a second successive domestic win
- Roy Hodgson's Eagles are without a victory in five matches
Manchester City are looking for a second successive Premier League win after some patchy form when they host Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.
After travelling to Belgrade on Tuesday night, when a youthful Man City side came away with a 3-2 victory against Red Star, attention turns back to the Premier League title charge for Pep Guardiola and his players.
Despite a routine win looking likely for the Cityzens up against Palace, the Eagles have taken seven points from their last five matches at the Etihad.
Roy Hodgson, fresh from his tirade regarding the officials after his side's 2-1 defeat to Liverpool last time out, will be aiming to engineer an unlikely result in Manchester with a Palace side currently slumped in 15th having underwhelmed in the Premier League.
Here is the lowdown on Man City's clash with Palace this Saturday.

Man City vs Crystal Palace score prediction
Crystal Palace's stack of absentees and generally dismal form should make this a fairly straightforward afternoon for Man City.
The champions rarely drop points at home against the lesser sides in the division and should waltz to a comfortable victory on Saturday, especially given some of the team's big hitters got a rest midweek against Red Star.
Prediction: Man City 2-0 Crystal Palace
