Man City aim to remain top vs. Palace

Matters only seem to be worsening for Crystal Palace as they lost their sixth successive Premier League game to Manchester City.

That opened the floodgates and City added four more goals in the second half with Raheem Sterling grabbing a brace, Sergio Aguero on target and substitute Fabian Delph scoring in the final minute.

With Palace’s poor start to the season and the Citizens stunning form, a Manchester City routine victory is probably to be expected, but with the unpredictability of the Premier League, anything can happen…

Palace remain pointless and goalless in the league and there is a real possibility of that run stretching to eight games, with a trip to the other side of Manchester next week, before Chelsea visit Selhurst Park after the worldwide break.

“There are six [teams], we are just a few points ahead”, he said. “The feeling I think is a little bit better, but it’s just September”.

Six teams for the title?

Something will need to change if they want to compete against Manchester City.

The same player had another chance on the half hour mark as Andros Townsend and Patrick Van Aanholt combined well to set up a chance for Loftus-Cheek but even though he got on the end of the cross he put a good chance wide of the target. But, we are going for a 4-0 home win as our prediction in this game, and you can back our tip at the best odds of 10/1 at Betfair.

“It’s just the beginning”. Honestly, the Belgian needs to return to extended action soon as the manager is being forced to think about his captain’s very bad injury record with each week that goes by.

The hosts are the joint-top scorers in the league while the Eagles are the only side without a goal this season.

Tottenham has now won its opening three away games for the first time since the 1991-1992 season. “Now he has to continue this way to be a great striker”.

But he will still be relieved to welcome in the New Year for the last two matches of 2017 (in five days, by the way) pitches him against Arsenal and Manchester City. Especially when they were kids, they enjoyed the training sessions when they had the ball, and I like all of them to be involved in that.

“Admittedly we’re playing against a real top-quality team who, when they get in the lead, are capable of showing the full register of their technical ability and ability to create and take goal chances”.

Two goals from Harry Kane and one from Christian Eriksen helped Spurs to ease into a 3-0 lead but goals from Javier Hernandez and Cheikhou Kouyate ensured that the visitors, who had Serge Aurier sent off with 20 minutes to go, were hanging on at the death.

“I find it hard to find the words to describe him”, said Pochettino.

Not a game I love because the odds are ridiculously poor.
