PREM: Manchester City v Crystal Palace preview
Manchester City will be without top scorer Sergio Aguero for Saturday's Premier League visit of Crystal Palace because of a groin injury.
Playmaker David Silva remains doubtful with the hamstring injury suffered in the FA Cup semi-final loss to Arsenal last month despite returning to training this week.
Defender John Stones (leg) is still on the sidelines while goalkeeper Claudio Bravo (calf) and midfielder Ilkay Gundogan (knee) will not feature again this season.
Andros Townsend is an injury doubt for Crystal Palace.
The winger suffered what manager Sam Allardyce described as a "twinge" in his Achilles during training on Friday, so will be assessed again on Saturday before the early kick-off.
Should he miss out, he will join Yohan Cabaye (knock), Mamadou Sakho, (knee), James Tomkins (leg) and Scott Dann (knee) as high-profile absentees.
Manchester City (from): Caballero, Gunn, Zabaleta, Sagna, Kompany, Otamendi, Kolarov, Clichy, Toure, Fernando, Fernandinho, Delph, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Sane, Navas, Nolito, Garcia, Jesus, Iheanacho.
