Manchester City are set to take on Crystal Palace in their pending matchweek 31 fixture of the 2025-26 English Premier League season. The Etihad Stadium is ready to host what promises to be an entertaining clash between the two sides.
Pep Guardiola’s men head into the contest on the back of a convincing 3-0 victory over Brentford in their previous league outing. It was a dominant display from the defending champions, who will now be aiming to collect another crucial three points.

The Cityzens currently occupy second place in the Premier League standings, and a victory here could help them close the gap on league leaders Arsenal. With momentum on their side, Manchester City will be confident heading into the matchup.
Playing at home will also provide a major boost for Guardiola’s side. City have secured consecutive wins in their recent home fixtures and will be eager to continue their strong run at the Etihad.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are coming off a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Everton in their last league game. The Eagles showed great character to fight back in the second half, although they had to settle for a point in the end. Oliver Glasner’s side have delivered some decent performances over their last few matches.
