Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE commentary as Manchester City host Crystal Palace looking to keep on Liverpool's coattails at the top of the table. Kick-off is at 15:00 GMT.

FULL TIME: Palace win 3-2 thanks to Schlupp, a wonder strike from Townsend, a Milivojević penalty and brilliant defending to hand City their first home defeat of the season in the league. What a game, thanks for following it with us..

CLOSE! Gundogan's cross falls to Sane whose tame shot is saved.

PENALTY APPEAL! Ayew knocks the ball past Ederson and goes down, there didnt appear to be any contact, and its a goal kick.

JESUS MISS! De Bruyne's pinpoint cross finds an unmarked Jesus but his header goes over. What a miss!

City are struggling to get the ball forward, their tempo has dropped. Walker eventually puts in a cross but the immense Sakho clears.

City have had a few late goals this season. There will be 4 added minutes.

Jordan Ayew is on for Palace.

Guatia flaps at a cross, it falls to Jesus who cannot get a clean connection on the shot and its cleared. What a finish!

The visitors look a bag of nerves now. A free header from Bernardo is blocked and the ball is hacked away.

GOAL FOR CITY! De Bruyne's looping cross from Bernardo's layoff swerves in off the post, a complete fluke. Game on.

City have Leicester, Southampton, Liverpool and Wolves among their festive fixtures. This result has made the title race more tantilising.

More crosses rain down on Palace's goal. The visitors look comfortable in this 4-5-1 formation.

WOODWORK! From the resulting free-kick, Sane's dipping free-kick kisses the outside of the post with the keeper beaten.

LUCKY BOY: Van Aanholt is lucky to escape a red for a horror challenge on de Bruyne. He gets a booking.

Another cross comes into the Palace box but it is cleared. Townsend is at rightback now, Schlupp is at left back. They have defended brilliantly.

Mahrez is his final throw of the dice and the Algerian is on for Sterling.

Pep has one more sub up his sleeve, his side are heading for their first home defeat of the season in the league.
