The City is left without punch against Crystal Palace, the Premier tightens

Manchester City drew goalless on their visit to Crystal Palace (11th) and sees how their difference in the Premier League standings is reduced to 4 points with respect to Liverpool, who also have one game in hand.

After 29 games played, City has 70 points, for the 66 of the ‘Reds’, who will play the game that they have delayed next Wednesday against Arsenal (4th).

The difference between the first two of the Premir is reduced as the clash between the two approaches on the 32nd day.

Crystal Palace’s defense once again won the game against the ‘Citizen’ attack, as happened in the first round, with a 2-0 victory for the Londoners, making them the only team in the Premier this season not to receive goals from City.

As usual in Pep Guardiola’s team, the visitors were in control of the game and tried in every possible way to break the ‘Eagle’ defence, but without finding fault in the 90 minutes.

Two shots on the woodwork by Joao Cancelo (28) and Kevin de Bruyne (56) were the best chances for City.
