Man City injury, suspension news and return dates for Crytal Palace clash: Jeremy Doku, Elliot Anderson latest

Manchester City travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace in their first Premier League away game of the 2026-27 season on Friday night.

Enzo Maresca made a winning start to life as the new Citizens boss last weekend, as his team came from behind to secure a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium.

City can momentarily climb to the top of the Premier League table with a win over the Eagles, but they will not be at full strength for their trip to South London.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of the fixture with Palace.
