Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace trio Chadi Riad (knee), Adam Wharton and Matheus Franca (both groin) all remain sidelined with injuries, although the former two could be in contention to return at some stage this month.
Cheick Doucoure is fit to start after Glasner confirmed that his half-time substitution against Ipswich was made because of a booking and not an injury. The Mali international will battle with Jefferson Lerma and Will Hughes for a place in midfield.
Daichi Kamada is available for selection after serving a three-match suspension, and he could also feature in midfield or provide support in attack for Mateta and Eberechi Eze.
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Henderson; Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Doucoure, Lerma, Mitchell; Eze; Nketiah, Mateta
Manchester City
As for Man City, Nathan Ake sustained a hamstring injury in the closing stages of their midweek win over Forest and will join Rodri (ACL), Oscar Bobb (leg fracture), Mateo Kovacic (unspecified) and John Stones (foot) in the treatment room.
Manuel Akanji will be assessed ahead of kickoff after being withdrawn at half time against Forest with an unspecified problem, while Phil Foden is also a doubt after missing the midweek win due to bronchitis.
The potential absence of both Ake and Akanji could see Josko Gvardiol moved back into central defence or 19-year-old Jahmai Simpson-Pusey handed a start alongside Ruben Dias, with Kyle Walker and Rico Lewis operating as full-backs.
Guardiola will weigh up whether to hand De Bruyne his second start in the space of four days alongside fellow midfielders Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish, while goalkeeper Stefan Ortega could start for the third consecutive game at the expense of Ederson.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ortega; Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Lewis; De Bruyne, Gundogan, Grealish; Savinho, Haaland, Doku
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-2 Manchester City
