How hot have Manchester City been in 2019? Well, let’s look at how they have done, across all competitions since the last meeting with Crystal Palace, a 3-2 loss on December 22. City lost their very next match, on Boxing Day to Leicester City, and then lost only once across a stretch of 23 games.
Now that’s how you compete for a quadruple, by putting up numbers like that. Loss number three, 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in Champions League competition, came on Tuesday night, and perhaps that will have City extra motivated to emerge victorious on Sunday afternoon at Selhurst Park.
It’s a mystery what Pep Guardiola might do with his first team selection here, as he will definitely do some sort of squad rotation in this one.
