Manchester City reduced Liverpool's lead at the top of the Premier League table to five points as they recorded a win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The Blues currently ran out 2-0 winners after Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring in the 39th minute before David Silva doubled the visitors' lead just two minutes later.

Pep Guardiola welcomed John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne and Benjamin Mendy back into his matchday squad for the game in London, but Nicolas Otamendi and Kyle Walker both missed out.

Guardiola's decision to start Stones on the bench meant Fernandinho and Rodri started together at centre-back, with Joao Cancelo and Mendy on the right and left flanks respectively.

City starting XI vs Palace: Ederson, Cancelo, Fernandinho, Rodrigo, Mendy, Gundogan, Silva (C), De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Jesus

City substitutes: Bravo, Stones, Aguero, Angelino, Mahrez, Foden, E Garcia
