Manchester City Vs Crystal Palace: Capital One Cup (5 - 1) On 28th October 2015 by safarigirl(f): 4:12pm On Oct 28, 2015 |
Match Preview: Manchester City will look to extend their unbeaten run to six games in all competitions when they host Crystal Palace in the League Cup on Wednesday. City’s impressive start to the campaign was ended by defeats against West Ham and Tottenham, which had the potential to send the club on a downward spiral, but comprehensive 6-1 and 5-1 victories over Newcastle United and Bournemouth ensured that they remained top of the table. They are 1st in Premier League with 22 points and 7 out pof 10 won matches Manchester City were superior over Sunderland in the previous round of Capital One Cup and convincingly won 4:1. Pellegrini’s side won League Cup in the 2013-14 season when they defeated Sunderland in the final, but were knocked out by Newcastle in the third round last year. Palace arrive in Manchester after two disappointing defeats in the league against West Ham and Leicester City, the loss at the King Power Stadium on Saturday was particularly frustrating for Alan Pardew, who saw a penalty appeal waved away by referee Mike Dean. Currently they are 7th in Premier League with 15 points and 5 won matches. Crystal Palace won 4:1 against Charlton in the previous round and played extra time to eliminate Shrewsbury in the first round. The Eagles have never won the League Cup and have struggled to reach the latter stages over the past few years, failing to reach the fourth round of the competition since the 2011-12 campaign. MATCH FACTS: Manchester City were knocked out in the fourth round last season by Newcastle, but had won their four previous fourth round ties prior to that. This is the third League Cup meeting between City and Palace, with both sides registering one win each. This is only the second time in 10 seasons that Palace have reached the fourth round; they reached the semi-finals in 2011/12, losing on penalties to Cardiff. The Citizens have scored 18 goals in their last four home League Cup games. Palace have failed to keep a clean-sheet in any of their last seven away League Cup meetings with Premier League sides, conceding 15 goals. In their last 15 League Cup ties, Manchester City are averaging 3 goals a game (45 goals in total). Palace kept a clean-sheet in their previous away League Cup game at Walsall; they haven’t kept two away clean-sheets in a row in the competition since 1980. Dwight Gayle has netted four goals in two League Cup games this season. He has eight goals in four League Cup appearances. HEAD-TO-HEAD The two sides met earlier this season when Iheanacho struck in the 90th minute to hand City a 1-0 victory at Selhurst Park. Pellegrini’s men recorded a convincing 3-0 win over the Eagles in their last meeting at the Etihad when David Silva notched a brace, while Yaya Toure also got on the scoresheet. Over the course of history, City have fared better in the contest by securing 25 victories compared to Palace’s 15, while 12 of the matches have ended in draws. .TEAM NEWS Manchester City are still without Sergio Aguero (hamstring) and David Silva (ankle) due to injury, while Pellegrini will also be without the services of Fernandinho, who picked up his fifth booking of the season against United earning him a one- match suspension. Wilfried Bony is expected to lead the line for the Citizens, but Kelechi Iheanacho could feature following his match-winning strike against the Eagles earlier this season. Manu Garcia and Patrick Roberts may also come into contention for City on Wednesday. Samir Nasri has returned to training this week, but the game may come too soon for him to return to the pitch. Palace will be boosted by the return from suspension of striker Dwight Gayle after he missed their defeat to Leicester at the weekend, and he is likely to replace Fraizer Campbell to lead the line. The Eagles are without left-back Pape Souare so Adrian Mariappa will continue in his place, while forwards Connor Wickham and Marouane Chamakh are still out due to injury. Wilfried Zaha could return to the starting lineup after starting on the bench last week. PREDICTED LINE-UPS Manchester City: Caballero; Sagna, Kompany, Mangala, Kolarov; Fernando, Garcia, Toure, Roberts, De Bruyne; Bony Crystal Palace: Hennessey; Mariappa, Dann, Hangeland, Kelly; McArthur, Cabaye; Puncheon, Zaha, Bolasie; Gayle |

I hope Nacho gets enough playing time. I hope City plays well and wins. An early goal will give Pellegrini a chance to bring in Youngsters. Come On Citizens, Come On Nacho. #TeamNacho |
