Manchester City also failed to get 3 points against Crystal Palace. City drew the match 2-2. This result was unexpected for me. Crystal Palace is a relatively weak team. It was not expected that Manchester City would drop points against this team. Manchester City completely dominated today's match. Even then they can't win. City's players had 75% of the ball possession, as well as attacking a lot. However, Manchester City cannot keep their defense strong in today's match. Crystal palace managed to score 2 goals despite not attacking much. Crystal palace players made a total of 5 shots in today's match. Crystal palace is very lucky. They managed to share the points with City in away matches.
It was very, very unexpected that Man City lost points again by drawing, regardless of the way the match went, I think they were just unlucky. In the last five matches, Pep Guardiola squad has only been able to achieve one win, a situation that puts them in big doubt. What I mean is that there will be a lot of people reacting and questioning their strength this season, regarding defending the title and getting it back.

For Liverpool and Arsenal losing points to Man City means a golden opportunity for them, because they can continue their steps towards topping the EPL standings. Of course they have to beat their respective opponents, but in this case the Reds have a little difficulty because they have to beat Man United. So far City have lost 17 points, with details of 4 draws and 3 defeats.

Pep is certainly not happy with this draw, and City only weakness is lack of luck in the form of 2 points. Apart from that, they played quite well, and dictated the course of the match according to their wishes, Crystal Palace was a lucky team because they avoided defeat and made most people bets lose.
