Man City vs Crystal Palace: Predicted Line-up – Star man could make return, Gundogan out injured

Manchester City take on Crystal Palace at the Etihad on Saturday.

City have won nine of their last 10 league games against the Eagles and have not lost in the Premiership this season.

The Citizens have actually lost just one of their last 24 Premier League games against Palace at the Etihad.

Palace meanwhile are the first team in Premier League history to not only lose but fail to score in their first five games.

City will be without Ilkay Gundogan who made his first start in 10 months since recovering from a knee injury mid-week against West Brom.

Gundogan ended up getting injured again following a two-footed tackle from behind by West Brom midfielder Claudio Yacob in the mid-week League Cup clash.

Pep Guardiola could however, welcome back his captain Vincent Kompany who has recovered and made the squad.
