Palace held City to a barren draw and now the Citizens sit 4 points ahead of Liverpool who have a game in hand.

Manchester City squandered the chance to move six points clear away from their title challengers Liverpool after being held to a 0-0 draw by a stubborn Crystal Palace at the Selhurst Park. City hit the wood work twice and also Bernardo Silva missed two great opportunities to score. As expected, City dominated the ball from the off but Palace were always lively on the break, with Michael Olise flicking an effort across Ederson. City dominated the game but their efforts went unrewarded. 

This opened up the Premier League title race wide open as Liverpool have one game in hand and if they are able to win both of their remaining two games, it will only mean that Manchester City will be one point ahead of them. Liverpool face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night and it will not be an easy game as Arsenal are very much in the race for the top four place finish. It will be a really exciting end to the season for the title just as much as it will be equally exciting end to the season for the top four finish.
