On the 11th of March, in this week 27 match, Crystal Palace plays host to Manchester City in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 5 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. In their last match, Crystal Palace recorded a 0-1 loss against Aston Villa. Joachim Andersen scored the first goal for Aston Villa on an own goal in the 27th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Crystal Palace was frustrated by Aston Villa’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Aston Villa ended the match with the shutout victory. Crystal Palace looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches, while manchester City is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Newcastle United. Phil Foden struck first for Manchester City in the 15th minute on a feed from Rodri, then Bernardo Silva added another in the 67th minute In the end, Newcastle United couldn’t muster any offence and Manchester City ran away with the shutout win. Manchester City is on a hot streak lately, having won 7 of their last 10.
In their last match together, in Etihad Stadium, Manchester City won by a score of 4 to 2. John Stones struck first for Crystal Palace on an own goal in the 4th minute, then Joachim Andersen added another in the 21st minute But luckily in the 70th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Erling Braut Håland.
Phil Foden has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the midfielder has scored four goals for Manchester City. Jeffrey Schlupp and James Tomkins are the top scorers for Crystal Palace in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
Patrick Vieira’s squad will be without Joel Ward, Wilfried Zaha, Nathan Ferguson, Sam Johnstone and Tyrick Mitchell, while Josep Guardiola i Sala’s Manchester City squad will be without Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones and Aymeric Laporte.
