Team News: Gabriel Jesus starts for Manchester City in FA Cup

Jesus starts for Manchester City in FA Cup

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has handed a start to Gabriel Jesus for his side's FA Cup fourth-round clash with Crystal Palace.

Despite agreeing a deal to sign for City in the summer, the Brazilian forward only arrived earlier this month and he makes his first start in the game against the Eagles.

Vincent Kompany returns to the starting lineup after a spell out through injury, while Fabian Delph is named in midfield.

As for Palace, Sam Allardyce names a strong starting lineup, despite their woes in the Premier League, with Andros Townsend a notable inclusion in midfield.

Christian Benteke is preferred in attack to Loic Remy, who is still working his way back to full fitness after missing the first half of the season.

Crystal Palace: Hennessey, Ward, Kelly, Tomkins, Schlupp, Flamini, Ledley, Mutch, Townsend, Lee, Benteke Subs: Perntreou, Fryers, Delaney, McArthur, Kaikai, Cabaye, Remy

Manchester City: Caballero, Sagna, Kompany, Kolarov, Clichy, Toure, Delph, Silva, Sterling, Sane, Jesus Subs: Bravo, Zabaleta, Fernando, Nolito, De Bruyne, Stones, Navas
