Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has admitted his side's clash against Crystal Palace could be a defining moment in the Premier League title race. The reigning champions looked set to close the gap to Arsenal after their win against Newcastle with the Gunners drawing with Bournemouth heading into the final moments at the Emirates Stadium.
However, Reiss Nelson scored a dramatic 97th-minute winner to keep Arsenal five points above City with 12 games to play. A number of fixtures on the calendar are already being highlighted as possible moments when the title race could be impacted.
The first one could arrive next weekend with City and Arsenal both in European knockout action against RB Leipzig and Sporting CP, respectively.
