Manchester City vs Crystal Palace: Latest City team news and predicted City starting XI
Manchester City vs Crystal Palace: Latest City team news and predicted City starting XI Manchester City take on Crystal Palace tonight at the Etihad Stadium in a Premier League match that they simply must win. Manchester City’s ambitions of winning the Premier League title remain out of their hands. If Arsenal win their final two matches of the Premier League season, they will be crowned champions for the 2025-26 season.
All Pep Guardiola’s side can do is win their remaining three matches in the Premier League to put themselves in a position to take advantage of any slip-ups by Mikel Arteta’s side. Tonight, City face Crystal Palace, and although Oliver Glasner’s side can be a handful on their day, City know they simply have to pick up all three points tonight. Here is the latest Manchester City team and injury news and my predicted City starting eleven ahead of tonight’s match.
Latest Manchester City injury and team news. Manchester City almost have a clean bill of health in terms of their squad for tonight’s match. The only two players who are in doubt for the clash against Crystal Palace are Rodri and Abdukodir Khusanov.
Rodri has missed City’s past four matches due to a groin injury. Abdukodir Khusanov missed City’s 3-0 win over Brentford due to a nasty knock he sustained in his team’s 3-3 draw with Everton. Pep Guardiola told the media yesterday that Rodri and Khusanov are feeling better ahead of tonight’s match.
It now remains to be seen if either player will feature in tonight’s match in any capacity. There is a variable in terms of what team Pep Guardiola will select for tonight’s match. Manchester City have the FA Cup final on Saturday against Chelsea to plan for.
