Manchester City stays title‑chasing after Crystal Palace win, eyes FA Cup final

Manchester City kept its Premier League title challenge alive by beating Crystal Palace, gaining three points on the league leaders and moving closer to the summit. Pep Guardiola rested several regular starters ahead of the FA Cup final at Wembley, where City will face Manchester United, hoping to add a second major trophy after winning the League Cup earlier in the season.

In the victory, rarely‑used midfielder Phil Foden made a decisive impact, providing two assists, including a back‑heel pass that set up the opening goal. The performance underscored the depth of Guardiola’s squad and came amid ongoing speculation about his future at the club as the season draws to a close.
