Bernardo Silva has spoken out on the Premier League title race following Manchester City's goalless draw against Crystal Palace on Monday night. City faced Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday and dropped points as neither of the teams could find the back of the net. With the draw, Pep Guardiola's side continue to lead the league table with 70 points, 4 points ahead of second-placed Liverpool, who have one game in hand. "It was a tough game, we played well. I thought we actually controlled well the game apart from one or two times we lost possession and they counter-attacked," Silva said. "They didn't create much. We controlled possession, our counter-attacking. Unfortunately we couldn't score. We should have scored, we didn't. A very frustrating game. "Still a long way to go, nine games to go. We're still in a good position. It's still better to be in our position than Liverpool and they still have to play in our stadium. It's going to be exciting." "It's a tough team," Silva said of Palace. "It's never easy to play any away game in the Premier League. Teams are tough, well organised. Over the last years we felt how difficult it was to come to this stadium. A draw was disappointing. Still a long way to go. "It's always better to win than draw. We wanted to win, to have an advantage of six points to Liverpool with their game in hand. Four points, they play Arsenal, we rest to play Southampton in the FA Cup. "Nine games to go, very difficult fixtures ahead of us. We're going to be there, we're going to fight as usual for the title." City's upcoming game will be in the FA Cup quarter-finals against Southampton on Sunday.
