Watch Crystal Palace vs Manchester City to see if the home side can continue their impressive run of form and inflict another damaging defeat on the reigning Premier League champions. Read on to learn about live streams and how you can watch from anywhere with a VPN.
• Date: Saturday, December 7, 2024
• Kick-off time: 3pm GMT / 10am ET
• Venue: Selhurst Park, London

Palace may be sitting just one place above the relegation zone but Oliver Glasner’s side appear to have turned a corner. The Eagles have fallen to just one defeat in their last six matches and head into the game on the back of a narrow 1-0 victory away at Ipswich. However, they’ve struggled at home all season, having won just one of their seven league games at Selhurst Park.
After a nightmare period in which they went seven games without a victory, Manchester City ended their miserable run with a comprehensive 3-0 win at home over Nottingham Forest. Pep Guardiola will have been delighted to see his side pick up just a third clean sheet of the season and will now hope they can end a run of five straight defeats on the road in all competitions.
Read on to find out how you can watch Crystal Palace vs Manchester City live streams from anywhere.
Can I watch Crystal Palace vs Man City in the UK?
Unfortunately, there will be no Crystal Palace vs Manchester City live stream in the United Kingdom. That's because games that kick-off at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon are subject to a TV blackout, to protect attendances elsewhere in the league pyramid.
As it stands, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K. between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.
For the 24/25 season, Sky Sports is set to show 128 matches live, while TNT Sports will show 52 matches live, including every Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Amazon Prime Video has the rights to 20 matches this season.
If you're in the UK but are visiting from your home country where you normally watch the 3pm kick-offs, you can still watch Crystal Palace vs Man City, by using a VPN to unblock your usual streaming service.
How to watch Crystal Palace vs Manchester City from anywhere
What if you're away from home on Saturday, and find access to your usual streaming service geo-blocked? The solution is a VPN, a piece of software that sets your devices to appear to be in any country in the world.
