Crystal Palace and Manchester City are playing live on the Barclays English Premier League schedule on Monday and the match starts on the NBCSN Live Extra website and NBC Sports Network at 3 pm ET from Selhurst Park as Man City tries to keep pace on the EPL table and they come in at fourth as the season gets closer to the end.
Man City comes in at fourth on the table and the team is looking to get things going against Crystal as the season pressed on. Yaya Toure was already out for the win against West Brom and he will likely be back in the lineup for the team and that is a big addition. James Milner could be back for the team and this is a big chance for the team to stay in position and try and get back into the top part of the table.
The team appeared to be a sure bet to be in the top three earlier in the season, but now the team needs to get things going towards the end. The team is in the top four and it's now likely that Chelsea will finish on top and Man City is just hoping to finish in the top four. The Champions League place would be secure instead of having to play in and that makes this last stretch the most important for the team this season.
Man City has been leaving too many points on the pitch and they need a win on Monday to get back on track. The team has not played up to par on the road and now that they have this away match against Crystal, they have to get some points. Crystal comes in with a little momentum and they are in 12th position on the EPL table coming into this matchup. Over the last stretch of 30 possible points Crystal has performance better than Man City and this could be the turning point match for both teams as they push towards the back end of the schedule. Man City comes in having won the last five matchup's against Crystal and that bodes well for the team.
The Citizens have won seven overall against Crystal in all competitions and now they are looking for another one. The team has been held scoreless against Man City in the last few games and that is what the team is hoping for again. Man city has not lost three in a row away in quite some time and they are hoping to avoid that again. The team has only won four of the last 10 games and they hope this will be the turnaround match.
