Man City vs Crystal Palace: Confirmed Line-up – Star man fails to make squad, Aguero starts
Manchester City welcome Crystal Palace at the Etihad on Saturday hoping to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to six games.
Palace have been in awful form this season losing their last five games and failing to score a single goal – the worst ever start to a Premier League season by any side.
City meanwhile won nine of their last 10 league matches against the visitors.
Pep Guardiola will be without Ilkay Gundogan who made his first start in 10 months against West Brom in the League Cup mid-week.
Gundogan picked up another injury following a rash tackle from Baggies midfielder Claudio Yacob.
Guardiola will also be without his captain Vincent Kompany who has not been included in the match day squad.
City will start with Aguero upfront with Raheem Sterling and Sane provided width in attack and Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva playing in behind the forward three.
