Man City vs Crystal Palace: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds today

A remarkable clash with Brighton produced three red cards, of which two were for Palace players, leaving Marc Guehi and Eddie Nketiah suspended for this game. There are also injury concerns over Maxence Lacroix.

Palace have been somewhat of a bogey team for Pep Guardiola in recent years with City dropping points in four of their last seven meetings.

Man City vs Crystal Palace is scheduled for a 12.30pm BST kick-off today, Saturday, April 12, 2025.

The match will take place at Etihad Stadium.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports.

Live stream: Fans can catch the contest live online via the Discovery+ app and website.

Live blog: You can follow all the action this afternoon via Standard Sport’s live blog.

No fresh injury concerns for Pep Guardiola, but also the fivesome ruled out are no closer to returning with Erling Haaland, Rodri, Nathan Ake, John Stones and Manuel Akanji all set to again sit out this weekend.

Savinho and Jack Grealish are pushing to start after dropping out for the derby, and Kevin De Bruyne will hope to keep his spot – and the captain’s armband. Phil Foden put in another disappointing display, so will be fearing for his place.

Crystal Palace are facing a possible centre-back crisis with Marc Guehi suspended and Maxence Lacroix potentially ruled out with a concussion. Fellow defender Chris Richards is approaching a return after injury, so may come in.

The win over Brighton has come at a significant cost with Edward Nketiah also sent off and, therefore, banned.

Crystal Palace may be heading to the Etihad with a patched-up defence, which will have a significant impact on the result. Even a disjointed attack, which City have been guilty of this season, will be relishing facing a backline missing Marc Guehi and, potentially, Maxence Lacroix.
