Their past six fixtures have produced 28 goals, and though the Eagles netted at least twice in five of those, they resulted in four defeats and a pair of draws. All will be forgotten if they win the one that matters most: the 2025 FA Cup final. You can watch Crystal Palace vs Man City live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free. Crystal Palace vs Man City live stream, Date, Time, Channels The Crystal Palace vs Man City live stream takes place on Saturday, May 17. ► Time: 11:30 a.m. ET / 8:30 a.m. PT / 4:30 p.m. BST / 1:30 a.m. AEST (Sunday) • FREE STREAM — BBC iPlayer / ITVX (U.K.) • U.S. — Watch on ESPN Plus • Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free Like Inter and Barcelona, some teams just bring out the best in each other. Unfortunately for Palace fans, Oliver Glasner is operating on a budget a fraction of the size of Pep Guardiola's. With Erling Haaland fit to start after a spell on the sidelines, the Spaniard has a decision to make because Omar Marmoush has been superb in his absence. The midfield battle will feature two of the most creative playmakers in the country in Kevin de Bruyne and Adam Wharton. It was de Bruyne who stole the show the last times the teams met, but with Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta likely to target the leggy Ruben Dias at every opportunity, Wharton's eye for a through-ball could prove deadly. Set-pieces have also been a source of joy for Palace all season, yielding 16 league goals, while the clashes down the flanks — particularly down Palace's right with Daniel Munoz and Ismaila Sarr, and City's left with Nico O'Reilly and Jeremy Doku — will provide a fascinating subplot.
