93'FT: C Palace 1-3 Man City!! It's all over here at Selhurst Park! Sterling scored the first two goals and the visitors were in complete control until Milivojevic halve the deficit 10 minutes from time from a free-kick. City were then under the pump, but Jesus killed things off on the counter in the 90th minute. City go top at least for a couple of hours, but in any case, if they win their last five games, they will be champions. Thanks for joining us and see you soon.

-
63'0-2!!! Sterling scores again!!! Walker passed for Aguero in the middle, who then looked for Silva, Silva was cornered by the by-line and Dann, so he cut back to Sane. The German spotted Sterling on the edge of the six-yard box and he placed the ball into the corner. Game, set and match.
-
62'Man C try and make a good move. Gundogan spoils all that though with an awful hit from outside the area. High and wide.
-
60'Townsend is bundled over by Sterling. Shots: 2-11, on target: 1-3.

-
45'Welcome back everyone! The players are making their way back out here in South London!
-
45'HT: C Palace 0-1 Man C! City are dominating this game. The best thing for Palace, who lost Schlupp to injury, is the scoreline. Sterling scored after 15 minutes after a brilliant pass by De Bruyne. Sane could have scored other occasion and City nearly scored once again right on HT. 77% possession, but only 0-1 up. Join us shortly for the second period.

45'Zaha gets up annoyed after being tripped by De Bruyne deep in his own half. Nothing more than a foul.
-
45'Two added minutes

43'David Silva is caught offside when Aguero gives him the ball. Never off.

41'Van Aanhlt heads over a Sane ball in for a corner. There was no need to do that.

39'Kouyate dispossesses De Bruyne, but Benteke slips at the worst possible moment and Man City break dangerously on the counter. De Bruyne looks for Aguero who inexplicably stops his run and doesn't get on the end of the pass.
-
37'What is Atkinson doing?? McArthur traps the ball in between his legs and is on the floor just outside his own box and instead of being a free-kick for City for retaining the ball, he gives a foul against City!!
-
36'Milivojevic commits a foul on Silva and is duly penalised. City are comfortable.
-
35'Milivojevic can't find anyone in the area and it's a goal kick.
-

-
31'Great play by Palace!! Milivojevic loops in a ball for Benteke and he heads across for Kouyate. Unfortunately for him, a City player gets there first to clear. Gundogan to be precise. Better from the hosts.

PRVWRemember when these two met earlier in the season, Palace won 2-3 at the Etihad. Townsend scored a stunner that day.

-
PRVW9 degrees and dry here in South London!
-
PRVWThe referee is Martin Atkinson for today's clash.
-
PRVWPalace just make two alterations from the team which won 0-1 at Newcastle last weekend. Dann replaces Tomkins in defence and Benteke starts instead of Batshuayi.
-
PRVWThe away side have made a few changes from the side which lost to Spurs on Tuesday, but they have far from rung the changes. In fact, Sane and De Bruyne, who came on as 89th minute substitutes in midweek, start today. Otamendi and Mahrez are on the bench, Delph and Fernandinho miss out and Kompany and Mendy also play.
-
PRVWMan City have put out a very strong side despite having a massive CL clash on Wednesday against Spurs. Their team is the following: Ederson (GK); Mendy, Laporte, Kompany, Walker; D Silva, Gundogan, De Bruyne; Sane, Aguero and Sterling.
-
PRVWThe teams are in so let's get going. Palace XI: Guaita (GK); Van Aanholt, Dann, Kelly, Wan-Bissaka; Schlupp, Milivojevic, Mcarthur; Zaha, Benteke and Townsend.

PRVWGood afternoon and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Manchester City!
