Manchester City v Crystal Palace preview: Team news, head-to-head and stats

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland remains a major doubt after missing the past two games with a foot injury.

A hamstring issue is expected to keep Jeremy Doku sidelined but Jack Grealish should overcome a minor niggle.

Crystal Palace are set to hand a full debut to goalkeeper Remi Matthews, who replaced the injured Sam Johnstone late on against Liverpool last week.

Jordan Ayew is suspended, while Odsonne Edouard, Tyrick Mitchell and Jefferson Lerma are all expected to miss out.
