Manchester City travels to Selhurst Park tonight to face Crystal Palace, seeking to build on their recent victory. Crystal Palace, now managed by Pierre Sage, aims to secure their first points of the season after a loss to Everton.
Manchester City will be without Jeremy Doku due to a calf injury sustained during the FA Community Shield match against Arsenal. Elliot Anderson is fit to start after being substituted against Bournemouth with cramp. Enzo Maresca, Manchester City’s manager, also stated that Matheus Nunes is continuing his recovery to full fitness.
Maresca surprised observers in the previous match by starting Marc Guehi in midfield, and may repeat the tactic. According to Maresca, Guehi “knows what his manager expects” if asked to play in midfield again. New signing Ayyoub Bouaddi is available for selection and could feature in the matchday squad, potentially allowing Guehi to return to defense, though a bench role is more likely. Nunes may also start at right-back, having positively impacted the game against Bournemouth.
Rayan Cherki also had a strong performance against Bournemouth, assisting on both goals, and could be in contention to start if fully fit.
Crystal Palace are managed by Pierre Sage, who replaced Oliver Glasner. Sage previously managed RC Lens.
