Team: Man City Value: £6.2 million Points In GW18: 8 Manchester City have been impenetrable on home soil this season, going undefeated at the Etihad and not dropping a single point in front of their own fans. And while their away form is a different story entirely, it is their record in their own backyard that matters here, and another home game, this time against Crystal Palace, virtually represents a nailed-on three points. Palace may have emerged from Villa Park on Boxing Day with all three points but remain precariously close to the relegation zone and could well fall back into the bottom three this weekend. The newly-promoted Eagles haven't beaten City in the league since 1990 - a run of seven games. The Citizens on the other hand are flying high and beating any and all visitors to 'fortress Etihad' and the smart money would be on another win here, and a clean sheet against a side who have scored fewer goals (12) than all 20 Premier League clubs.
