The chances of Manchester City defending their Premier League title this season have continued to get slimmer after they were held to a 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola’s men came into the game on the back of a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

However, they were behind within four minutes, after Daniel Munoz broke the offside trap, to slot the ball past Ortega Moreno.
