Manchester City`s 5-2 win over Crystal Palace boosts their Champions League hopes, despite injuries to Haaland and Foden.

Manchester City secured a vital 5-2 victory against Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium, strengthening their bid for Champions League qualification. This win positions City fifth in the Premier League table, just two points shy of third-placed Nottingham Forest and one point behind fourth-placed Newcastle United, who have a game in hand.

Pep Guardiola emphasized that the team`s fate lies in their own hands as they prepare for crucial upcoming matches against Everton and Aston Villa. However, the squad is currently facing significant challenges with injuries to key players. Erling Haaland is expected to be sidelined for five to seven weeks, while Phil Foden is hopeful for a return in time for the Everton clash. Additionally, Ederson suffered a groin injury during the match against Palace, which may lead to Stefan Ortega stepping in as the starting goalkeeper.

With potential transfers in the works, including discussions for Benfica`s Anatoliy Trubin, Manchester City is actively addressing their goalkeeping situation as they navigate this critical phase of the season.
