Man City vs. Crystal Palace Prediction, Picks for EPL – Wednesday, May 13
A controversial result in Saturday’s London Derby between Arsenal and West Ham has shifted the title race in Arsenal’s favor. The Gunners narrowly escaped defeat against the Hammers, extending their lead at the top of the table.
The Sky Blues must now win each of their three remaining fixtures and hope Arsenal drops points in either of their final two matches of the season. While reclaiming the English title may seem like a long shot for Manchester City, a win on Wednesday would keep the 2023-2024 Champions in contention.
City welcomes a Crystal Palace side whose attention has largely turned toward its upcoming UEFA Conference League final after an underwhelming league campaign.
The South London club’s lone path to European football next season relies solely on the result of the Conference League final scheduled later this month between Palace and La Liga club Rayo Vallecano. Palace will be looking for their first win at Etihad Stadium since 2021.
With Oliver Glasner’s squad essentially locked into the bottom half of the EPL table, Palace could arrive with one eye already on its European final, which may increase the likelihood of squad rotation. Guardiola has already confirmed he would be opting for the same, with City taking on Chelsea at Wembley in the FA Cup Final on Saturday.
Despite that, Manchester City’s depth and home dominance may prove decisive. Guardiola’s squad remains unbeaten at the Etihad Stadium in league play since Matchweek 2 and looks to keep its title hopes alive with another controlled performance on Wednesday afternoon.
