Man City team news:

City boss Pep Guardiola is facing something of an injury crisis heading into tonight’s encounter.

The experienced tactician confirmed that Gabriel Jesus will be sidelined for at least a month after being forced off with an injury on Sunday.

Kevin De Bruyne was also taken off with an injury and is unlikely to feature tonight.

During the pre-game press conference, Guardiola also said that Vincent Kompany and Fabian Delph’s injuries were not too serious.

England international John Stones made the bench against Palace and could make a start tonight.

David Silva meanwhile is still ruled out for personal reasons.
