Latest Crystal Palace vs Man City team information
Crystal Palace will continue to be without the trio of Chadi Riad (knee), Adam Wharton and Matheus Franca (groin), although the first two could return later this month. Cheick Doucoure is fit and available, after Glasner confirmed his first-half substitution against Ipswich was due to a booking, not an injury. Doucoure will compete with Jefferson Lerma and Will Hughes for a place in midfield. Daichi Kamada has completed his three-match ban and could feature in attack for Mateta and Eberechi Eze or in midfield.
For Man City, Nathan Ake has a muscle injury and joins Rodri (anterior cruciate ligament), Oscar Bobb (broken leg), Mateo Kovacic (unspecified injury) and John Stones (leg injury). Manuel Akanji will be assessed after being substituted at half-time against Forest with an unspecified problem, while Phil Foden is also a doubt after missing out with bronchitis.
If Ake and Akanji are unavailable, Josko Gvardiol could be brought in at centre-back, or 19-year-old Jahmai Simpson-Pusey could start alongside Ruben Dias, with Kyle Walker and Rico Lewis at full-back. Guardiola will consider whether to give Kevin De Bruyne his second start in four days alongside Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish, while goalkeeper Stefan Ortega could continue in place of Ederson.

Latest Crystal Palace vs Man City football review
Since losing three games in a row in late September and early October, Crystal Palace have lost just once in their last six games, picking up nine points to keep their hopes of survival alive. Palace extended their unbeaten run to three games with a 1-0 win over Ipswich Town on Tuesday night, with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring the only goal. It was their first away win of the season and only their second Premier League win this season.
While the win was not a perfect performance, manager Oliver Glasner insists the team are on the right track and has urged his players not to get complacent amid a busy holiday schedule. Crystal Palace are currently 17th, just three points above the relegation zone, and will be looking to improve their home form, where they have only won one of their seven Premier League games this season.
However, winning against Man City on Saturday will be a huge challenge, with Palace having won just two of their last 18 Premier League meetings with Man City, and both of those victories came at the Etihad in 2018 and 2020.
Man City, after a crisis period of seven games without a win in all competitions, ended their drought with a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the Etihad on Wednesday. Goals from Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku gave Man City three points for the first time since late October and a first clean sheet in three games.
Although many thought Man City’s title race was over, victory over Forest saw them close the gap on leaders Liverpool to nine points. Man City will head to Selhurst Park full of confidence, despite having lost five consecutive away games in all competitions. However, having won seven of their last nine away games against Palace, they have every reason to be confident of victory.
