Read our privacy policy Pep Guardiola refused to blame fatigue after his injury-depleted 10-man Manchester City side were held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. With Liverpool’s Merseyside derby called off due to Storm Darragh, City moved within eight points of the league leaders – having played one more match – while once-struggling Palace have now picked up 10 points from their last seven top-flight games. “Selhurst Park is always difficult, the weather conditions for both sides, but we fought as always.” Guardiola, who counted Phil Foden, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji among his unavailable talent, was emphatic when asked if his remaining men looked tired at any point against the Eagles. We are lucky to have him.” Guardiola was full of praise for Palace boss Oliver Glasner, whose side moved up to 16th, level on 13 points with Leicester, who have a game in hand.
