Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says victory at Manchester City won't hurt thei title chances.

The result has delivered Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool with a golden opportunity to leave the champions trailing when the top two meet back at the Etihad Stadium on January 3.

“I don't think Pep [Guardiola] will be concerned about it," said Hodgson, himself a former Liverpool manager.

“There are still 20 games to play and no matter how Liverpool play they will come against a game like this.

"Someone, somewhere will beat them against the odds."
