Tintin's 2 shots and 1 pass led the reversal, Manchester City beat Crystal Palace away, and put pressure on Liverpool

After a 4-1 thrashing at home to Aston Villa to avenge the embarrassing defeat at home, Manchester City rushed to Selhurst Park to challenge Crystal Palace.

The three-front battle is a decisive battle, and Guardiola has no time to worry about it, so he can only do his best to win. However, given that they will travel to the Bernabeu to challenge Champions League champions Real Madrid in midweek, Guardiola has made a more obvious rotation. Phil Foden, Bernardo, Akanji, Ake and Doku were all on the sidelines, with Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and John Stones making their debuts.
