Cards
Doucouré most bookable — Palace's anchor vs City's quick midfield
Manchester City begin their Premier League road campaign at Selhurst Park, where Palace are traditionally obstructive but rarely dominant. Crystal Palace lost GW1 without registering a single corner — Everton's press completely suppressed their attacking output. City were clinical in GW1 (8 corners, 66% possession, Haaland on the scoresheet) and Rayan Cherki — the summer signing from Lyon — started alongside Foden in an attacking midfield that creates constant wide overloads. Haaland's 2.0 SoT per game and City's 6.7 corners per game average are the two headline stats here. Doucouré's card profile and Palace's foul count (15 in GW1) make the cards market alive in both directions.
CornersLow risk
Manchester City most corners — 6.7 per game in 2025/26
Man City averaged 6.7 corners per game last season — second highest in the division. In GW1 they registered 8 corners in their 2-1 win at home to Bournemouth. Crystal Palace's low block at Selhurst will force City wide again and again; Foden and Cherki cutting in from the flanks are the corner generators. Palace averaged just 4.8 corners per game in 2025/26 — this is a reliable edge.
Shots on targetLow risk
Erling Haaland 2+ shots on target
Haaland scored 28 goals in 2025/26 with 72 shots on target — averaging 2.0 SoT per game. Palace lost GW1 0-2 at Everton with 0 corners won and 4 SoT — their defence is under pressure. Haaland occupies central areas relentlessly and City's territory advantage at Selhurst will create multiple chances in the box.
Yellow cardLow-medium risk
Cheick Doucouré to be booked
Doucouré collected 7 yellow cards in 2025/26 as Palace's midfield anchor. In GW1 Palace committed 15 fouls (joint-second highest in the round) trying to limit Everton's energy. Tracking Foden, Cherki and Kovacic over 90 minutes will see Doucouré commit repeated fouls — his booking at 6.7-corner-per-game City is a solid individual pick.
