After a poor run of form, Crystal Palace will be aiming to get back to winning ways in the coming weeks.

Under Alan Pardew, Crystal Palace fans have been on a rollercoaster journey so far this season.

Their form has been erratic to say the least and as we approach an important run of fixtures for the Eagles, the threat of a relegation battle is once again looming large.

This is no longer a guaranteed three points for any side. Whether home or away, Burnley have set themselves up as a tough team to beat with their defensive capabilities.

The morale is high at Turf Moor and Palace could be in for a rough game, however they do tend to let their guard down a touch when they are not up against bigger sides.

Prediction: Burnley 1-1 Crystal Palace

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola

Unfortunately for Pardew’s men, it appears as if Manchester City are back to their best.

A midweek win against Barcelona will only serve to boost their spirits, and given the quality within their ranks this is still their league to lose. Palace will put up a fight, but ultimately Guardiola’s men are just too strong throughout their starting XI.

Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-3 Manchester City

The mystique surrounding Bob Bradley’s appointment at the Liberty Stadium appears to be wearing off, and the Welsh side are in for a tough season ahead when it comes to surviving in the Premier League.

Palace have the experience and ability necessary to navigate a victory in this kind of game, but it may well turn into a shootout.

Prediction: Swansea 1-2 Crystal Palace
