Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Competition – English Premier League Stadium: Selhurst Park Date: 28th August 2026 Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT
Crystal Palace host Manchester City at Selhurst Park on Friday evening as the Eagles look to arrest a difficult start to the season against opponents who have similarly blown hot and cold through the closing weeks of pre-season.
Palace’s recent form has been patchy. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 home defeat to Everton in the league. Prior to that, a 3-0 loss away at Freiburg in a pre-season friendly was another disappointing result. Before that, a 2-1 win away at Fulham was a much-needed confidence boost. Earlier in this run, a 3-1 win over Al-Ula and a penalty shootout win over Famalicao following a goalless draw complete a five-match sequence of three wins and two losses.
Manchester City arrive in similarly mixed shape. Their most recent outing brought a 2-1 win at home over Bournemouth to open the league campaign. Prior to that, a 3-0 defeat away at Arsenal in the Community Shield was a disappointing occasion. Before that, a 3-1 win at home over Atletico Madrid was a strong win. Earlier in this run, a 3-1 win away at K-League Stars after a penalty shootout defeat to Inter following a 1-1 draw, completing a five-game spell of three wins and two losses.
The head-to-head record favours Manchester City, who have won three of the last five meetings, with one draw and a single win for Crystal Palace. Most recently, Manchester City won 3-0 at home. In the previous encounter, Manchester City won 3-0 away at Crystal Palace. History leans firmly in the visitors’ favour heading into this one.
