Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Jesus faces up to two months out after injury

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on whether he would move for Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez in light of the injury to Gabriel Jesus said: "He is a player for Arsenal and I think he is going to stay there. In two days we have another game after that we have meetings. My feeling now is Alexis is an Arsenal player."

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola speaking to BT Sport: "Yes you have to give Palace credit. They are a good team. We had problems in the game, but the second half was much better. At the end, keeper Ederson helped us to keep one point. Maybe it was a penalty, the referee made that decision so that's okay. On Tuesday we have another game so the good moments you have to react with the best way to do it.

On the argument between De Bruyne and Sane: "Football is emotional and sometimes you have arguments and be together to have the best solution."

On the injury to Gabriel Jesus:

"He's injured in the terms hopefully it will only be one or two months. Then Kevin we were lucky, well not lucky. I don't know what happen with him in that last action.

On possible reinforcements in January:

"I am talking about the game we have to sit down and see what happened with Gabriel and Kevin and we will see."

Pep Guardiola speaking to BBC Match Of The Day about Jason Puncheon's tackle on Kevin De Bruyne: "Please, referees, they have to protect players. We were lucky against Tottenham and against Newcastle. Today we were not lucky.

"Referees have to protect. We know how strong physically it is England but teams miss big players, not just Manchester City. The replay speaks for itself. We have to protect players."

On the result: "Big credit to Crystal Palace. The first half we have action, they have action. In the second half it was much better. It was a deserved point for both teams and now we focus on the next one. I said many times it will be a long road, anything can happen in football.

"Of course we never give up and Crystal Palace fought hard but in the last period it was tough and we played well. We spoke many times about how they would play."
