Man City Team News: Injuries, Suspensions and Alignment vs Crystal Palace

Manchester City will try to bounce back from its midweek UEFA Champions League loss to Tottenham when they return to London to face the Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Goal He understands that Pep Guardiola has given priority to Sunday's league match in front of Tuesday's European shock and has decided to keep Kevin De Bruyne and Leroy Sane fresh and ready to make a difference at Selhurst Park.

Bernardo Silva missed the game in Tottenham after having contracted a muscle in his thigh. It is thought that it is unlikely that he will come back on Sunday.

Oleksandr Zinchenko could be in the running after being hurt at the hamstring against Cardiff about 10 days ago. Benjamin Mendy should also be available after being away midweek.

Danilo was not in the team on Tuesday's day, but Goal understands that he is fit to play.

Neither of the two parties have suspensions.

Mendy should start from the left back after being out of Tuesday's Spurs game. Danilo could also be part of the team, but Kyle Walker could also continue.

Vincent Kompany is a good bet, given the importance Guardiola places on Selhurst Park because of its atmosphere and Palace's physical style. Belgian leadership could be a great badet.

De Bruyne and Sane are ready to play after being effectively rested midweek. David Silva could continue in the midfield, despite a mediocre form. Otherwise, Ilkay Gundogan could be part of the team.

Sergio Aguero debuted at Tottenham, saying the city's coaching staff was not worried about his previous muscle injury.
