    Sean Longstaff is urged to shoot by the Newcastle fans. He does but it just hits the first defender.

    Former Celtic manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I think [Guardiola] will be happy with the way his team has performed and controlled things.

    Palace are trying to draw them out and get space and it's a difficult game for City as well, as much as it is for Palace.

    What's impressed me is the way [City] have been without the ball as well. It's been all one way.

    Michael Olise breaks down the right and uses his body to shield the ball from Josko Gvardiol, who comes in from behind to give away a free-kick. It's pinged over to Joachim Anderson on the far side and Bernardo Silva concedes a corner.

    Ryan: Apparently Pochettino "won nothing at Spurs or Espanyol or Southampton". Err, was he ever expected to? He somehow dragged Spurs to a Champions League final - I'm not sure Judith (15:41) could do that

    Bit harsh from Judith at 15.41. No-one ever wins anything at Southampton or Espanyol, or Spurs for that matter (but he did get them to CL final)

    A decent half for Luton. Bournemouth have carried a threat but Luton have stood their ground and Elijah Adebayo's goalscoring form continues.

    Not a classic.

    Excellent defending from Joachim Andersen to hold off Julian Alvarez, carry it away from danger and win a free-kick near the touchline.

    The 10 men of Fulham are being effective on the counter and using the pace of Alex Iwobi, in particular, on the break.

    Newcastle 0-0 Fulham

    Newcastle's Anthony Gordon heads over from 10 yards out. The ball was a bit too high for him so wasn't a huge chance,

    Bournemouth have really grown into it. Marcus Tavernier has another half-chance from the edge of the box but his shot lacks power and is straight at the keeper.

  12. 'Yellow is the right call'published at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2023

    Man City 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Neil Lennon
    Former Celtic manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The ball had ran away but it is the first time they have broken the defensive line. The touch is going way away from goal. Probably the right call but Ederson must have been bored and decided 'I'm going to go and get involved here'.

    Oooh not far away from Michael Olise, as he whips the free-kick just over the bar with Ederson scrambling.

    If I was in the crowd at Newcastle I'd warm up at half time - might get a game in the 2nd half way things are going.

    Sheffield United's Vinicius Souza gets lengthy treatment after being caught in the face by Moises Caicedo's elbow. He's going to play on.

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2023

    Man City 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Eeeek. Jean-Philippe Mateta is in behind City's backline and Ederson has to come out of his box to close him down. He slides in, completely taking Mateta out but is fortunate there's a defender back so he only gets a yellow for it. It wasn't far away from the box either!

    A quick check to see if Newcastle should have a penalty for a Tosin Adarabioyo tackle on Callum Wilson but the answer is no.

    Good play until the finish by Nicolas Jackson. The Chelsea striker cuts in, dodging a couple of tackles, before blasting a shot well wide.

  19. 'City have been fantastic'published at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2023

    Man City 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Neil Lennon
    Former Celtic manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The reaction to losing the ball from City is fantastic. They are in total control and it's not just because Palace are sitting back and defending, it's because City have been superb at getting the ball back.

    Phil Foden has a decent go from long range but it's always heading wide and ripples the side-netting.
