Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this weekend, along with Chris Sutton at the BBC:

STAT ATTACK for tonight:

Crystal Palace v Manchester City – 8pm, Sky Sports

Palace have had a reputation as being a bit of a bogey team for the top sides in recent years. But after a brace of 3-0 City wins last season – home and away – the standout stats point to a high-scoring away victory this evening…

• Man City have won 6 of their last 8 league meetings with Crystal Palace. Scoring 11 times across the last 3 encounters alone

• Over 2.5 Goals bets have paid out in each of the last 6 league meetings between Palace and City. With 4 of those also going Over 3.5 Goals

• Erling Haaland has scored on each of his last 4 league visits to Selhurst Park. Paying out for First Goalscorer in 2 of those

Man City to Win & Over 2.5 Goals in the game is 11/8 (2.38).

First Scorer: Haaland is 3/1 (4.0).

Those two prices are with Skybet.
