Manchester City lost 2-0 to Crystal Palace, with Aymeric Laporte’s red card being viewed as the key turning point of the match.

The result put the reigning Premier League champions four points behind Chelsea in the race for the title. Yet whilst fans are fuming about the loss, some supporters are now excited for next week following the red card to Laporte.

Indeed, the incident means that the Spanish international will now miss next Saturday’s Manchester Derby. And that Ruben Dias and John Stones will likely start together in the defence.

The duo were instrumental in City’s Premier League title charge last season. With the Cityzens keeping the most clean sheets and conceding the least amount of goals out of anyone.

And Laporte’s red card against Palace means that Dias and Stones will reunite next weekend. And with the £65m Portuguese defender taking to Twitter after the match, fans on social media are hyped.

After all, the two defenders were solid for City last campaign. And Laporte’s red card means that Stones and Dias will likely partner one-another against Manchester United.
