Welcome to the Evening Standard's Premier League coverage of Crystal Palace vs Manchester City LIVE at Selhurst Park.
When Man City overturned Liverpool’s 10-point lead last season, you would imagine Pep Guardiola’s message was something like ‘well done… but don’t let it happen again’.
Fast-forward to October 2019 and his City are trailing Liverpool by eight points after just eight games - and today they face a Palace side who stunned them with a 3-2 win at the Etihad last season.
Palace go into this on back-to-back wins and, should other results go their way, could leapfrog City into second place with a win. Imagine that.
