Palace predicted to struggle at home to Man City
Crystal Palace have gone three games without a win and could be suffering from a lack of motivation with the club looking safe from relegation and a selection of the players' contracts coming to an end in the summer. Following their 1-1 draw with Everton, Palace have lost 4-1 at home to Chelsea and 2-1 away at Leicester and now they face the might of Manchester City. McArthur, Wickham, and Ferguson have been ruled out of Saturday's clash through injury, while Tomkins, Sakho and Cahill could all return to the squad if they pass late fitness tests.
Man City don't have any fresh injury concerns ahead of their trip to Paris in the Champions League but they will be without John Stones against Crystal Palace after the England defender was sent-off against Aston Villa. Man City followed up their league win at Villa Park with a 1-0 win over Tottenham in the League Cup final. Guardiola's men are just a few steps away from securing the Premier League title and remain in the hunt for their first-ever Champions League trophy, so it is key that the Spaniard maintains a winning mentality amongst his players.
