Team news: Palace make double change for City clash

Roy Hodgson makes two changes to his lineup as Crystal Palace welcome Manchester City to Selhurst Park, with Andros Townsend and Tyrick Mitchell returning to the side.

Townsend takes the place of Jordan Ayew in the attack, with Eberechi Eze and Wilfried Zaha to support Christian Benteke.

Mitchell replaces Patrick van Aanholt at left-back, with the rest of the back four unchanged: Cheikhou Kouyaté once again partners Scott Dann, with Joel Ward the final defender. Jairo Riedewald is alongside Luka Milivojevic in midfield.

Gary Cahill returns to the matchday squad and is available from the bench, with Jeffrey Schlupp, Jordan Ayew, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Michy Batshuayi all among the substitutes.
