Silva and Zinchenko 'better' as Man City head to Crystal Palace

Manchester City will assess injured duo Bernardo Silva and Oleksandr Zinchenko before Sunday's Premier League trip to Crystal Palace.

City take on an Eagles side that beat them earlier in the campaign on a weekend that could prove key to the destination of the title as Liverpool – two points ahead of Pep Guardiola's men at the summit having played a game more – entertain Chelsea at Anfield.

Silva was a surprise late withdrawal from City's 1-0 midweek Champions League defeat at Tottenham after suffering a minor thigh injury in training, while Zinchenko is on the mend from a hamstring strain sustained during the 2-0 win over Cardiff City at the start of this month.
