Prediction

  • While newly promoted teams tend to struggle, Crystal Palace are giving a good account of themselves. They managed to draw 1-1 against Liverpool last time and sit ninth, two points above the relegation zone.
  • Manchester City are at the opposite end and are flying at the top having beaten Aston Villa 2-1 in their last match.
  • Palace have already faced two of last season's top four teams, losing 7-0 to Chelsea and drawing 1-1 with Liverpool.
  • Manchester City have a great record against newly promoted sides having won 23 of 24 such matches, scoring 88 goals and conceding just nine times. The exception to this was the 2-1 away loss to Liverpool in May 2023.
  • If Palace are to get anything from this, they will be relying on Katie Stengel. She has a WSL goal tally of 10, which were all for newly promoted teams, nine for Liverpool and one for Palace. Unfortunately, City look to be a team tough to stop so they will get the win.
