Manchester City have been hit by injuries ahead of today’s match. Phil Foden, Nathan Ake, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Rodri and Oscar Bobb are all out of today’s match due to injury and illness. Manuel Akanji was in doubt for today’s match as per Pep Guardiola’s update yesterday.
Despite this Manchester City will be desperate to pick up three points at Selhurst Park. But they won’t come easy up against a Crystal Palace side who will be desperate to pick a win to move clear of the relegation zone.
