Crystal Palace vs Manchester City is a huge game on Monday at Selhurst Park as the pressure is back on Pep Guardiola's side.
Guardiola is keen to take it game-by-game and City know that Liverpool are ready for them to slip up ahead of their potential title-deciding battle at the Etihad Stadium in April. City have lost just one of their last 18 games in the Premier League and are heavy favorites for this clash. As for Manchester City, well, they are coming off the back of a superb display in their 4-1 hammering of Manchester United in the Manchester derby and are full of confidence. Palace have improved in recent weeks as Wilfried Zaha has returned from the Africa Cup of Nations in fine form and his quality on the counter will be key if Palace are going to get anything from this game.

Pep Guardiola didn't use any substitutes in a dominant, but goalless, draw against Palace that left the door further ajar for a chasing Liverpool.
They have given Liverpool a huge incentive for Wednesday's trip to Arsenal, knowing that victory there in their game in hand will take them one point behind City with nine games each to play. As it was, Guardiola didn't make a single substitution in a game City had to win to maintain a degree of breathing space over Liverpool, the holder's lead standing at four points now. But it is tempting on nights like this -- as rare as they are -- to imagine what might have happened here had City landed Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane or Cristiano Ronaldo last summer. The result inevitably shapes judgements on such decision-making, but that just felt odd in the immediate aftermath. If he really was thinking about changing things, it never seemed particularly close to becoming reality. City peppered Palace's goal with 18 shots.
