Manchester City missed out on the chance to reopen their six-point advantage over Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table after being held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace on Monday evening.
Despite having 18 shots on goal, it was not enough to help City build on last weekend's 4-1 win over Manchester United. It means they have now won just two of their last four league outings.
Furthermore, it now means that Liverpool could move to within just a point of City if they win their game in hand against Arsenal on Wednesday evening. They will travel to the Emirates Stadium knowing that a ninth successive victory will leave them a point behind Pep Guardiola's side ahead of the upcoming international break.
