Eagles head north looking for upset on rough run of form
Marc Mayo16 December 2023

Manchester City's final Premier League game before Christmas takes place against Crystal Palace today.

Heading into this round of matches in fourth place and four points adrift in the title race, Pep Guardiola's side know anything but a win could leave them with a mountain to climb when they return from Saudi Arabia.

Up against City is a Palace team which has won only a single game since early September, as Roy Hodgson faces pressure over his future in the dugout.

However, an improved display from the south Londoners against Liverpool last time out will raise hopes that they can pull off an upset in the midst of a tricky festive schedule.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Man City vs Crystal Palace is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off on Saturday, December 16, 2023.

The match will take place at Etihad Stadium.
