After two games on the road, Man City is heading back home. They will be home for the holidays to greet Crystal Palace at 10:00 a.m. ET on Saturday at Etihad Stadium. Man City's last five matches have been decided by no more than a goal, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
Man City faced off against Luton for the first time this season, and Man City walked away the winners. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past Luton 2-1. The last goal Man City scored came from Jack Grealish in minute 65.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace's game on Saturday was all tied up 0-0 at the half, but sadly for them it didn't stay that way. They fell just short of Liverpool by a score of 2-1. The disappointing result was just more of the same for Crystal Palace, who hasn't won a game since November 4th.
Man City's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-3-3. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 2.7 goals per game. As for Crystal Palace, they have traveled a rocky road recently, as they've lost four of their last five matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-4-8 record this season.
Man City came out on top in a nail-biter against Crystal Palace when the teams last played back in March, sneaking past 1-0. Will Man City repeat their success, or does Crystal Palace have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
