This will be Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola’s 200th Premier League match in charge (currently W146 D25 L28). Whatever the result, the Spaniard has already won more of his first 200 in the competition than any other manager to reach the milestone.

Man City have lost just one of their last 50 Premier League matches that have kicked off at 15:00 on a Saturday (W43 D6), but that was a 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace in December 2018.

Palace striker Christian Benteke has made more Premier League appearances without scoring against Man City (13) than versus any other side. But the Belgian has five goals in his last 10 away league outings, as many as in his previous 32.

Since they returned to the Premier League in 2013/14, Palace have conceded 39 goals in 16 Premier League meetings with Man City, keeping just one clean sheet. The Eagles have also failed to score in 11 of those 16 meetings.
