Man City v Crystal Palace: Eagles duo set to miss out along with City star

Cheikhou Kouyate is a doubt for Crystal Palace’s Premier League trip to Manchester City owing to a knock.

Defender Martin Kelly is expected to miss the Etihad Stadium clash due to an adductor muscle strain.

Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey has also not recovered from a back spasm, so will miss out.

Provisional squad: Guaita, Speroni, Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Sakho, Van Aanholt, Dann, Souare, Riedewald, Townsend, Kouyate, McArthur, Meyer, Milivojevic, Puncheon, Schlupp, Ayew, Kaikai, Sorloth, Wickham, Zaha.

Champions Manchester City are still without playmaker David Silva.

The Spaniard has returned to training after missing three games with a hamstring injury but this weekend’s game comes too soon.

Captain Vincent Kompany is also out with a knock and defender Danilo remains a doubt while left-back Benjamin Mendy (knee) and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo (Achilles) are long-term absentees.

Provisional squad: Ederson, Muric, Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Laporte, Zinchenko, Delph, Gundogan, Foden, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, B Silva, Sane, Sterling, Mahrez, Diaz, Aguero, Jesus.
