On Wednesday, Manchester City secured a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium, maintaining pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal, who are just two points ahead with two games remaining.

City took control early, with Antoine Semenyo scoring the first goal in the 32nd minute, assisted by Phil Foden. Eight minutes later, Omar Marmoush doubled the lead, also set up by Foden.
Savinho added a third goal late in the match, ensuring a comfortable win. City now has 77 points and a superior goal difference, while they prepare for an FA Cup final against Chelsea.
Guardiola explained the changes in the lineup due to the tight schedule, emphasizing the need for squad rotation. Arsenal remains the favorite to win their first Premier League title since 2004, with City facing Bournemouth next.
