Manchester City have another must-win game on Wednesday night when they face Crystal Palace at home. Pep Guardiola's men are still applying the pressure, beating Brentford over the weekend, but they know they can only take care of their own business and hope Arsenal do not.

The Gunners won over the weekend, which means they are now just two wins from the title at the most, but if they slip up, there is still a chance for City to steal the crown. For that to happen, though. Guardiola's men are going to have to win all of their remaining three games, including this one against a Palace side that has caused them problems in the past.

The Eagles have little to play for, but they can have a major say on the title race, given they also face Arsenal on the final day of the season. Ahead of Wednesday night's clash in Manchester, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both sides.

Confirmed Man City vs Crystal Palace injury news

Evann Guessand - Out

Glasner confirmed in his pre-match press conference: "It will be the same squad as vs Everton. Evann and Borna [participated] in the first part of the training session... we are working towards them returning vs Brentford. They will need a few minutes to get back into shape, of course."

Borna Sosa - Out

The same update as above applies for Sosa.

Cheick Doucoure - Out

Doucoure is hoping to return for the last game but will not make it back here as he recovers from a long layoff.

Eddie Nketiah - Out

Nketiah is out for the season, with Glasner confirming back in April: "For Eddie, unfortunately, it is the end of the season. Tomorrow, I will speak to him, and then we'll decide what's best... now his deadline should be when the new pre-season starts, so that he's in the best shape [possible] to train the full pre-season."

Abdukodir Khusanov - Doubt

Khusanov may return here, facing a late fitness test before the game. Guardiola said in his pre-match press conference: "Better as well. (He took) a tough, tough knock against Beto when he played Everton. He’s better."

Josko Gvardiol - Fit

Gvardiol has been confirmed as fit, with Guardiola saying: "Josko is ready too, so it's good."

Rodri - Doubt

Rodri is another who faces a late fitness test as he looks to return here. Guardiola has said: "Better. We will see in training this afternoon."
