Manchester City vs. Crystal Palace live stream: Watch Premier League online
Manchester City take on Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, Dec. 22. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
As the calendar year comes to a close, two teams in vastly different places in the Premier League will square off on Saturday. Defending champions and current title contenders Manchester City welcome Crystal Palace to the Etihad, and the visitors could slip into the relegation zone with a loss.
City were able to bounce back in their last Premier League fixture, dominating Everton 3-1. The win comes after a shock loss to Chelsea nearly two weeks ago. The loss sent City into second place, and they continue to trail Liverpool in the table, albeit by a single point. A win on Saturday and an unfavorable result for Liverpool on Friday against Wolves will see City regain the lead in the table going into Christmas. The Citizens were in first place from matchday five through the end of the season last year, which shows that defending their crown will be much more difficult than obtaining it.
Palace come into Saturday’s game on the heels of a much needed win against Leicester. Getting another positive result against City will be no small task, as the hosts are the team with the best goal differential in the league. Palace will look to leading scorer Luka Milivojevic and star winger Wilfried Zaha to provide fireworks and hopefully lead them to an upset over one of the Premier League’s finest teams.
City have won every single Premier League game they’ve played at the Eithad this season. If they play to their potential, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be able to extend that streak. Expect there to be a very merry Christmas for the blue half of Manchester, starting with this game on Saturday.
