Palace half clear, only for Grealish to play a delicious first-time diagonal ball back to Foden, breaking into the box from the left. “He can add greatly to the flavour of a dish but will never be the central element of one. 41 min: Milivojevic nicks Silva to the ground, 35 yards out on the City left. Akanji rescues the situation by trapping on the byline and pinging it off the nearest defender for a corner. A free kick, inches from a penalty, and he really must be in the last-chance saloon now when it comes to an early bath. 59 min: Rodri strides down the inside-right channel and looks to pass a shot towards the bottom right from distance. 66 min: Ahamada dribbles down the inside-left channel and is clipped by Rodri, just to the left of the D. It’s worked back to Alvarez, who has a dig from the edge of the box. of course there is a concern about the number of chances we are creating and the shots on goal … Had he been on the front foot, he’d have surely met it with a header six yards out, and powered it home. Sometimes you have to win ugly, and that’s what City did tonight, moving to within two points of Arsenal at the top of the table. push, push, but don’t lose the head …

Michael made the foul inside the box that shows the lack of exprience on those kinds of periods and moments. "It's the pressure of if we lose, we lose the Premier League. If we lose 2-0, we lose the Champions League. "They have incredibly talented players, they can keep the ball within each other. That's what I expect from the players as well. They defended really well with the physicality they have. City came out with similar intentions after half-time and had a glorious opportunity to score when Grealish was fouled on the edge of the area, despite faint appeals for a penalty. "He knows he will have the chance and he'll be there. Normally, in football, basketball or tennis, when you're thinking of the action just passed or finished, you cannot be a good athlete. The Norwegian striker could have made it two but he only headed Grealish's cross following a counter-attack over the crossbar. Palace's resistance would only last a further 10 minutes as Olise couldn't stop his feet from charging down Gundogan at a short corner and caught him high on the midfielder's ankle. City were wasteful for most of the Selhurst Park clash and Haaland himself could have walked away with the matchball.

Jack Grealish is fresh off winning the Etihad Player of the Month and has been City’s best forward since he returned from the World Cup. The lads are about as fit and rested as one could hope this time of year, and that affords Pep Guardiola a full stable of options. Rúben Dias has solidified what had been a shaky backline at times, and this time around we’ll pair him with Aymeric Laporte.
