Phil Foden's deep free-kick is pulled back by Manuel Akanji. Jeffrey Schlupp is in the way.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville on Sky Sports: "Jack Grealish is playing his best football since joining Manchester City. He needs to play higher up the pitch and has to be more direct when he's in the final third."

Rodri's pass to Jack Grealish is too slow and Nathaniel Clyne jumps in to intercept. Space was starting to open up as City get straight back to it in the second half.

Back under way for the second half. Can Palace hold on for a crucial point?

Crystal Palace have now gone four hours and six minutes without a shot on target in a Premier League game since Eberechi Eze's 69th minute goal against Brentford in February.

They have failed to score a first-half goal in 18 of their 26 games. Only Everton (19) have failed to score more often in the English Premier League this season.

Arsenal fans will be watching on with interest. As it stands they are four points clear at the top.

They travel to Fulham tomorrow.

A half that has massively underwhelmed.

Manchester City have had plenty of chances but Palace are compact and defending well.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville on Sky Sports: "Crystal Palace need to find a way to take John Stones away and they have struggled to find that space."

Marc Guehi and Erling Haaland have a coming together in midfield as they both go up for a header. There's appeals from Palace who feel Haaland has left an elbow in. Nothing more comes of it.

Jordan Ayew is back defending, heading away an Ilkay Gundogan free-kick.

Getting closer... Phil Foden pulls it back and Marc Guehi's crucial touch takes it away from Erling Haaland.

Phil Foden cuts in from the right and wins a corner. It's not taken advantage of but Jack Grealish keeps it in play on the far side.

The rain is pouring down at Selhurst Park as Marc Guehi gets a shove in the back from Erling Haaland and goes sliding along the grass to win another free-kick. Palace seem to have ridden that spell of City pressure.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville on Sky Sports: "Crystal Palace needed this free-kick to give their defenders a rest."

Phil Foden cuts it back to Erling Haaland but Jeffrey Schlupp blocks it.

It's getting a little relentless now.

Luka Milivojevic is late on Ilkay Gundogan and he's in the book.

From the free-kick, Rodri's header is stopped by Vicente Guaita but he's offside.

So close again!

Erling Haaland's first shot is blocked right on the goalline. Haaland has another go and it looks like Marc Guehi gets in the way. It was bobbling everywhere but somehow it hasn't gone in.

What a chance for Erling Haaland.

He flicks a low cross over the bar from close range!
