Manchester City vs Crystal Palace: Latest City injury news and predicted City starting eleven | OneFootball

Manchester City face a tough Premier League fixture today as they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Oliver Glasner’s side sit fifth in the Premier League table after yesterday’s results. Crystal Palace is a team packed with quality, and they will be hard to beat at home. Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to pick up a precious three points to keep in touch with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.

An exciting Premier League fixture awaits at Selhurst Park, and here is the latest City injury news and my predicted City starting eleven for today’s crucial Premier League fixture.

Latest City injury news.

Manchester City will enter today’s match with John Stones, Rodri, and Mateo Kovacic unavailable due to injury. Kolo Toure revealed on Friday that John Stones has sustained a thigh injury. The Manchester City first-team coach revealed that Stones isn’t set to be sidelined for an extended period. Rodri is working his way back to full fitness as per Kolo Toure’s update on Friday. But he will not feature for City today at Selhurst Park. His return date remains unknown at this stage. Mateo Kovacic won’t be back until February or March after having surgery on a troublesome heel issue.

Predicted Manchester City starting eleven.

Gianluigi Donnarumma: There isn’t a world where Donnarumma doesn’t start today at Selhurst Park.

Matheus Nunes: Nunes deserves to keep his spot at right-back. Although there is an argument to be made for Khusanov to start with his pace and strength in a challenge but I can’t see that happening today.

Ruben Dias: Dias is a certain starter today, and dealing with the physical threat of Jean-Philippe Mateta could bring out the best in Manchester City’s defensive leader.

Josko Gvardiol: Gvardiol is beginning to grow into the season, and there is no reason why he won’t start today.

Nico O’Reilly: O’Reilly was man-of-the-match against Real Madrid and will have a crucial role to play at left-back at Selhurst Park.

Nico: The Spanish midfielder could be Manchester City’s most important player today. If he can help win the midfield battle, it could decide today’s match.

Bernardo Silva: Manchester City’s captain does all of the work that allows his teammates to shine. He is a certain starter against Crystal Palace, given the role he plays for his team.

Phil Foden: Foden is a certain starter today.

Rayan Cherki: Cherki is growing as a City player, and he could help unlock a stubborn Crystal Palace defence with his creativity and ability to do the unexpected.

Jeremy Doku: The Belgian winger is another player who is a certain starter today, and he could break open today’s match with his ability to split open a defence.

Erling Haaland: Haaland will have a massive role to play in today’s match as usual. He could be the player to decide today’s pivotal match if the service is there from his teammates.
