Previous Meeting

City were dealt our first home defeat of the season as goals from Wilfried Zaha and Conor Gallagher earned Crystal Palace a 2-0 victory back in October.

Zaha gave the visitors an early lead when his scuffed effort found the far corner of Ederson’s net, the first Premier League goal Guardiola’s men had conceded at the Etihad Stadium across 2021/22.

Things then went from bad to worse when Aymeric Laporte was shown a straight red card on the stroke of half time after bringing down the Ivorian.

City thought we’d drawn level when Gabriel Jesus volleyed home from a tight angle in the second half, but VAR spotted an offside in the build-up.

And with City piling bodies forward in search of an elusive equaliser, Chelsea loanee Gallagher doubled the Eagles’ advantage with an unstoppable 88th minute drive from close-range.
