The "Etihad Gauntlet" proved too much for a rotated Palace side as Manchester City kept their title hopes alive with a clinical 3-0 victory. Despite a bright start that saw the Eagles nearly lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta, City's quality told with two quick-fire goals before the break. While the second half saw a spirited effort from the bench, the focus remains firmly on managing the squad's fitness for the historic date in Leipzig.

With Pep Guardiola's men sitting just five points behind league leaders Arsenal with a game in hand, the stakes couldn't be higher for the hosts-while Palace look to play the role of ultimate spoilers.
