At 19:30 on the evening of April 12, Beijing time, in the 32nd round of the English Premier League, Manchester City hosted Crystal Palace.

Manchester City vs Crystal Palace, the highlights of the match are as follows:

First:Situation of both teams！ After 31 rounds of Premier League matches, Manchester City ranked sixth with 52 points with 15 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses, 1 point behind the top five (European zone); Crystal Palace has 11 wins, 10 draws, 9 losses, and 43 points, ranking eleventh, which can be regarded as a ranking without desire. In the last round of the Premier League, Manchester City drew 0-0 away with Manchester United, the team's creativity was seriously insufficient, De Bruyne's state fell off a cliff, and the midfielders were all 30+ veterans, and there was only 1 win in the last 4 rounds of the league, and the state was sluggish; Crystal Palace beat Brighton 2-1 at home, but Nketiah and Guehi were red, unbeaten in the last five league games with four wins and one draw, and six wins and one draw in the last seven games in all competitions, and are in good form.

Second:Manchester City needs to fight desperately for 5, and Crystal Palace has won 4 and drawn 1 in the last 5 rounds & the central defender is absent！ Manchester City have Arsenal to thank, with the Gunners beating Real Madrid 3-0 at home, the Premier League has already secured a top-two finish in Europe, meaning the top five in the Premier League can all qualify for the Champions League. Manchester City sit awkwardly in the Premier League table, one point less than fifth-placed Newcastle with a game in hand, and the pressure is high for fifth, so Pep Guardiola's Manchester City host Crystal Palace and know what they need, which is to take all three points. Palace have been in good form of late, but Gue's red card suspension is a variable. Manchester City must attack at home, Crystal Palace are good at counter-attacking, and Guardiola needs to work on tactics this time. Veterans such as Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan are no longer fit to start and it will be difficult for City if they don't make changes. Although the media and fans are optimistic about Crystal Palace, but the personal opinion Manchester City's key game at the Premier League level is still trustworthy, Malmoush needs to take on the responsibility of Manchester City's attack, without Haaland, it is not a bad thing for Manchester City, there can be more running and high-pressure pressing without a striker, Manchester City needs to speed up the front.

To sum up, this campaign is optimistic that Manchester City will win Crystal Palace at home and take all three points, making the Premier League competition for five this season more intense.

In the last 6 meetings between the two sides, Manchester City has won 3 and drawn 3 and remains unbeaten.
