Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Crystal Palace

Manchester City return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon with a fixture against Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's side had enjoyed the perfect start to the season before they were held to a 3-3 draw by Newcastle United in an enthralling game at St James' Park.

City prepared for this contest with yet another six-goal thriller on Wednesday night as they shared the spoils with Barcelona in a charity match.
