Premier League News
Two brilliant assists from Phil Foden help Manchester City defeat Crystal Palace, keeping pressure on Arsenal in the race for the title.
Steve Nicol says that it is "sad" that Arsenal's last game of the season will be "ruined" by a reserve Crystal Palace lineup.
Arsenal desperately want to seize the Premier League trophy, but Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are going to make them earn it.
Pep Guardiola said that Manchester City will make sure they are "there just in case" Arsenal slip up in the title race, despite admitting that player fatigue forced him to rest his star forwards in Wednesday's 3-0 win against Crystal Palace.
