Sport / league:: EPL
Event / fixture:: Crystal Palace vs. Man City
Event date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 at 5:00 AM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Man City @ 1.65 (Betfair)

Ismaila Sarr was absent from Crystal Palace’s squad against Everton last week. There are reports he has a groin injury, but there are also rumours of a potential move to Galatasaray. He was sorely missed by the Eagles last week, which is nothing new. Their form tanked last season when Sarr was away on AFCON duty. I’m very bullish on Man City’s chances this week if Sarr is absent. City boast a 9-3-1 record at Selhurst Park since Place were promoted. Man City won each of their last three fixtures against Crystal Palace by 3-goal margins. Palace’s chances aren’t helped by the injury to defender Chadi Riad, who was carried off on a stretcher last week.
