Stats for this game
Matchup Manchester City VS Crystal Palace
City’s authority is substantial
Manchester City have generally controlled this matchup, especially through emphatic home performances. They won 5–0 at the Etihad on 6 May 2017 and 5–0 there again on 23 September 2017, scorelines that illustrate the ceiling of City’s dominance. A 4–1 victory at Crystal Palace on 6 April 2024 showed that the advantage can travel as well.
Palace have earned their counterpoints
Crystal Palace’s 3–2 win at the Etihad on 22 December 2018 and 2–0 success there on 30 October 2021 changed the emotional shape of the pairing. City won 5–2 at home on 12 April 2025, before Palace earned a 1–0 FA Cup victory at Wembley on 17 May 2025; City then won 4–1 at Selhurst Park on 28 August 2026. The contrast makes the fixture valuable: City’s greater weight remains clear, but Palace can turn one successful plan into a defining result. Future editions can test whether Palace disrupt City’s control again or City close the door earlier.
