Manchester City vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as Manchester City face Crystal Palace in the Premier League today.
Crystal Palace are without Wilfried Zaha for the trip to City. Nathaniel Clyne came into Patrick Vieira’s starting line-up in place of Zaha, who did not make the matchday squad, in the only change to the side that beat Aston Villa 3-1 last weekend.
Riyad Mahrez came into the City side as Ilkay Gundogan dropped to the bench. Ruben Dias replaced the injured Nathan Ake in defence in the only other change to the starting line-up from last weekend’s 3-3 draw at Newcastle.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Crystal Palace's first-half performance was not enough to secure them any points in this fixture. It is the first time Man City have come back from a 2-0 deficit at half-time to pick up a win in the Premier League. Haaland scores his first Premier League hat trick as City move to the top of the table for now. They will play Nottingham Forest in their next game while Crystal Palace take on Brentford at home.

Eze was the player of the first half after he helped Crystal Palace to a 2-0 lead. His free kick was turned into his own net by Stones after a deflection off Walker. His corner 15 minutes later was then headed low into the goal by Andersen. But the second half was the Haaland show. Silva got things started after his deflected effort wrong-footed Guaita and made it 2-1. Haaland then scored a 20-minute hattrick to give his side the win. He finished Foden's cross for his first before tapping home Stones' scuffed shot from a quickly taken corner. Gundogan then played Haaland in behind for his third of the game and the striker showed his strength and clinical nature to end the game.

Manchester City have dominated possession but have struggled to find the final pass to give their attackers a good opportunity to score. They have put in 12 crosses from open play but have only come close to scoring from one of them. Eze is Crystal Palace's main source of quality as his ball retention and passing have given his teammates inspiration.

15:55 , admin
Crystal Palace took the lead from a free kick which was given away by Cancelo due to a mistake from Ederson after he couldn't hold possession of the ball. Eze's cross hit Walker and deflected onto Stones, who turned it past Ederson. Eze's corner in the 22nd minute then found a wide-open Andersen, and the defender made no mistake and double his side's lead. Crystal Palace have hit the target from both of their shots whereas ManChester City have not tested Guaita in any of their seven attempts.
