Man City v Crystal Palace live stream, Sky Sports, Sunday 17 January, 19.15pm GMT
Manchester City will be looking to continue their winning run when they take on Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola’s charges kept up their Premier League title tilt with a 1-0 defeat of Brighton on Wednesday. This was City’s fourth victory on the bounce and moved them to within four points off top spot, which is now occupied by their rivals Manchester United. City have a game in hand on both United and Liverpool, and are now the bookmakers’ favourites to win the championship.
City’s excellent form has been built on a tremendous defensive record. No team in the division has conceded as few goals as Guardiola’s side, while Wednesday’s shut-out against Brighton means they have now kept clean sheets in exactly half of their 16 league fixtures. City have not always been at their free-flowing best in attack this season, but they have clearly gone a long way to ending their defensive vulnerability. That bodes well for the race ahead.
Crystal Palace held Arsenal to a 0-0 draw in midweek, meaning the Gunners have failed to win any of their last five meetings with Roy Hodgson’s side. Palace will hope to deliver a similarly obdurate performance here, although a trip to the Etihad remains more daunting than one to the Emirates. Still, Palace have the potential to cause City one or two problems with their counter-attacking prowess.
City will again have to make do without Sergio Aguero, who is isolating after coming into contact with an individual who tested positive for COVID-19. Nathan Ake is still out injured, but Aymeric Laporte could return to the bench.
Scott Dann, Mamadou Sakho, Jeff Schlupp, Connor Wickham, Nathan Ferguson and Wayne Hennessey will play no part for Crystal Palace, but Gary Cahill is fully fit again. Palace have avoided defeat in their last two trips to the Etihad and will be hoping to do the same again on Sunday.
You can get 1/6 on a City victory with 888Sport, where new customers can bet £10 to get £30 in Free Bets + £10 Casino Bonus. The draw is available at 13/2 and Palace can be backed at 15/1.

Use a VPN to watch Man City v Crystal Palace live stream from outside your country
If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jose Mourinho tantrum. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below).
All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.
There are plenty of options out there, including:
FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar love its super speedy connections, trustworthy security and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 and loads more. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
A cheaper option; its cheapest package current averages at a wallet-friendly £2.29 per month.
Slightly more expensive but supports up to 10 devices, and you can pay for it every three months if you need to.
