Pep Guardiola responds to ‘sacked in the morning’ chants

Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Manchester City today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Doku fires a low ball straight across the face of the goal, but it only reaches Lerma at the back post, who clears the danger. Palace look to turn the clearance into a counter attack, but Devenny takes too long on the ball.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City

Palace haven’t laid down just yet, as they come forward again through Mateta and Munoz. They have both been exceptional in this match, but that instance was slightly sloppy, and the chance disappeared.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City

Fifty-three per cent of the action has been in the Crystal Palace third over the last 15 minutes, showing just how much pressure City are putting on the Eagles.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City

Palace make another switch. This time it’s in attack, and Sarr comes off the pitch to be replaced by Nketiah, who is still waiting for his first Premier League goal in a Palace shirt. It would be a great time to get it here.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City

City had two consecutive corners very quickly after Guehi challenged Haaland in the air at the back post. Palace have done well to wide this wave, but there will certainly be more coming at them.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City

City are piling the pressure on once more, as they enter the nervy stages of the game. Can they find a goal to put them into the lead for the first time in this game?

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City

Palace roll the dice first in this game as they make a change. Eze is taken out of the action and is replaced by Devenny for the remaining 20 minutes. He had a good game off the bench against Ipswich, let’s see how he does here.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City

The first yellow card of the game is brandished in the direction of Rico Lewis just moments after his goal. The reason for the caution was dissent towards the referee.
