Man City will be fighting on two fronts this week, with their must-win EPL clash against Crystal Palace coming just days before their FA Cup showdown with Chelsea. City will need to win all of their remaining EPL fixtures to stand any chance of overthrowing Arsenal at the summit, and confidence levels within the camp are likely to be high after winning five of their last six.
City showcased their best form last Saturday, easily beating Brentford 3-0. Jeremy Doku has been the team’s standout player in recent weeks, netting three in his previous two.
Likely Line-Up:
(4-2-3-1): Donnarumma (GK); Nunes, Guehi, Ake, O’Reilly; Silva, Gonzalez; Semenyo, Cherki, Doku; Haaland

- Home Record: 4-9-5
- Road Record: 7-2-8
Crystal Palace will still have fond memories of last season’s FA Cup final win against Man City, and Oliver Glasner will be aiming to sign off with the Eagles by winning a third trophy in two seasons.
Palace’s spot in the Conference League final was assured last week, beating Shakhtar Donetsk, meaning that many first team players will likely be rested in their remaining EPL fixtures. Ismaila Sarr continued his reliable form in front of goal last Sunday, with his effort in the 2-2 draw against Everton being his eighth goal of the EPL season.
Likely Line-Up:
(3-4-2-1): Henderson (GK); Richards, Lacroix, Canvot; Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Clyne; Kamada, Johnson; Larsen
Head-to-Head Trends

Man City vs. Crystal Palace Prop Picks
Jeremy Doku has been in electric form in recent weeks, and he could be the value angle to score again on Wednesday. The forward has scored in his last three appearances, netting four goals in total. He has also racked up seven goal involvements in his previous six.
Man City vs. Crystal Palace Picks
With Palace likely to rest players with one eye on the Conference League final, this looks like a perfect opportunity for City to put pressure on Arsenal. City’s home record is also dominant in 2025-26, winning 13 of their 17 at the Etihad Stadium.
