Continuation of the 17th day of the Premier League this Saturday with a beautiful multiplex at 4:00 p.m. After rediscovering the taste of victory in the league last weekend against Luton Town, Manchester City this time hosted Crystal Palace with the firm intention of achieving another success and putting pressure on Liverpool and Arsenal. So there is no question for Pep Guardiola of rotating, on the contrary. In the absence of Erling Haaland, still injured, and Jérémy Doku, the Spanish technician relied on an attack made up of Alvarez, Foden, Bernardo Silva and Grealish.

And in a lively meeting, the Cityzens again lost important points. However, it was Jack Grealish who opened the scoring in the first period shortly before the half-hour mark. And if Ederson gave his team a big scare by committing a foul outside the area (he ultimately only took only one yellow), Manchester City ended up managing quietly in the second act. Rico Lewis made the break in the second half. But now, Manchester City does not reassure even when it wins and Mateta’s reduction in the gap changed everything. Largely dominant, the Skyblues had doubts in the final minutes and conceded a penalty at the last second. And Olise transformed this opportunity (2-2). Pep Guardiola and his men lose two new points and fall off the podium. A big disappointment. We will now have to concentrate on the Club World Cup.
Chelsea are doing well
In the other match, Chelsea hosted Sheffield with the desire to get back to winning ways after a poor series in the league (1 victory in the last 8 matches). And for this match, Mauricio Pochettino could count on the return from injury of Christopher Nkunku. The Frenchman, who has not played a match with Chelsea since his transfer, started on the bench. In a meeting that was once again very unexciting, the Blues finally managed to win thanks to two goals in the second half. Palmer and Jackson scored the goals of the match. The job is done for Chelsea.
For its part, Newcastle bounced back well after its defeat against Milan in C1. This time, the Magpies cracked Fulham. In numerical superiority in the second half, Bruno Guimaraes’ teammates found the fault three times. Miley, Almiron and Burn are the scorers of the day. They allow Newcastle to return to 6th place in the ranking. Finally, the meeting between Bournemouth and Luton Town was interrupted after Tom Lockyer suffered discomfort. The referee sent both teams to the locker room when the score was 1-1.
