Manchester City face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday, April 12, 2025.
Ahead of the game, Paul Merson shared his prediction. According to Merson the game will end in City’s 2-1 win.
“There are a lot of players in this Manchester City team who are now low on confidence. When you’re in that situation, playing in Pep Guardiola’s system can be difficult. We saw that during the derby against Manchester United.” said Merson.
“Manchester City must finish inside the top-four. They cannot go from being champions to finishing sixth, that would be a huge concern. This is a hard game to call because I believe Crystal Palace can cause City some problems.
“Kevin De Bruyne is an absolute legend. City owe him a good farewell. He’s one of the only players who I’ve watched that can thread a pass through a needle while running at full steam. Truly one of the all time greats of the Premier League, phenomenal footballer!”
