Anyone who had grown tired of Manchester City’s outright dominance of the Premier League must be loving their up-and-down campaign, but what will Pep Guardiola’s reaction be to the four-time defending champions’ latest thriller?
[This one was a 2-2 draw](https://www.nbcsports.com/soccer/news/how-to-watch-crystal-palace-vs-manchester-city-live-stream-link-tv-channel-team-news-prediction) that saw City twice draw level through Erling Haaland and then Rico Lewis, as City dropped points to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
City again dominated possession but Palace managed a similar amount of shot attempts, taking 1-0 and 2-1 leads on Will Hughes assists to Daniel Munoz and Maxence Lacroix.
Guardiola’s team have conceded plenty of goals during a long run of injuries. Rodri is, of course, out for the year, while Manuel Akanji, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Mateo Kovacic all missed out on the trip to Palace.
The absences have kept Guardiola from being able to truly rotate the team, and he’ll almost surely touch on that during his post-match press conference.
We’ll share Pep Guardiola’s postmatch interview in this space as soon as he speaks on USA Network and/or Peacock Premium,
