Crystal Palace lineup vs. Man City: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Crystal Palace will be without three injured players for Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester City at Selhurst Park.

Chadi Riad (knee), Adam Wharton and Matheus Franca (both groin) all remain in the treatment room, although the former two are closing in on a return having taken part in training and could be back in action at some stage this month.

Oliver Glasner has confirmed that he substituted Cheick Doucoure at half time in Tuesday's 1-0 win at Ipswich Town because the midfielder was on a yellow card and not because of injury. The Mali international is therefore in contention to start again on Saturday.

Doucoure, who will battle with Will Hughes and Jefferson Lerma for a place in midfield, could be joined in the starting lineup by Daichi Kamada, who is available for selection after serving a three-match suspension.

Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the decisive goal for Palace against Ipswich and he is expected to continue up front, with support provided in attack by Eberechi Eze and either Ismaila Sarr or Eddie Nketiah.

At the back, Glasner is unlikely to make any changes, with captain Marc Guehi set to link arms with Maxence Lacroix and Trevoh Chalobah in a three-man defence as Daniel Munoz and Tyrick Mitchell continue as wing-backs.

Crystal Palace possible starting lineup: Henderson; Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Doucoure, Lerma, Mitchell; Eze; Nketiah, Mateta
