Sutton's predictions: Crystal Palace v Man City
[BBC]
Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
For week 15 he takes on Dougie Payne, bassist with rock band Travis.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2
Crystal Palace's win at Ipswich on Tuesday was huge for them, and it was comfortable enough in the end.
Manchester City finally returned to winning ways against Nottingham Forest - and it was a result they fully deserved - but are they really back?
What happens at Selhurst Park should give us an idea, and this is not an easy game for them. Forest had chances at Etihad Stadium when the score was 1-0 and I am still not convinced by City's defending.
They were much better going forward with Kevin de Bruyne and Jeremy Doku in the team against Forest, though.
Doku gave them the energy and ideas out wide that they have been missing and, while he is not the finished article, he is always a handful with his dynamism and the way he drives at teams.
On his day, he can be devastating and it might be a moment of magic from him that makes the difference here, and breaks down a stubborn Palace side.
Payne's prediction: 0-3
With De Bruyne back, City look like themselves again. I can see Erling Haaland scoring buckets of goals again soon, because he just looks so annoyed.
