Man City Can’t Afford To Drop Points Against Crystal Palace –Guardiola

Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has revealed that the team can’t afford to drop points in today’s Premier Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.

City are third in the standings with 67 points, a point behind second-placed Arsenal and three adrift of leaders Liverpool. They visit a Palace side who are 14th.

City’s remaining league fixtures include promoted Luton Town, Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove Albion, Nottingham Forest, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Fulham and West Ham United.

However, in a news conference, Guardiola said his side’s total focus remained on winning their last eight games rather than waiting for their rivals to slip up.

“We have to win that game.

“We’re third, not far away from the top of the Premier League, but if we drop points it will be almost impossible,”
