Last week was just cramp. ” Also, Enzo Maresca provided an update on the fitness of Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes. Doku is ruled of out of tomorrow night’s match due to a calf injury and Matheus Nunes continues to work his was back to full fitness. Speaking on the pairs fitness, Maresca said: “ Jeremy is out.Matheus we will see, he is still not 100%. ” Manchester City will be relieved to have Elliot Anderson available to play, while it remains to be seen if Matheus Nunes can start at Selhurst Park. Elliot Anderson will habe a pivotal role to play in the Manchester City midfield at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace are tough to beat at home, and Anderson will have a crucial role to play in helping City win the midfield battle which could well shape the game. Also, City have only just signed Ayyoub Bouaddi and their midfield rebuild is continuing so are they light for midfielders at the moment. It is a relief that Anderson should take his place in Enzo Maresca’s starting lineup at Selhurst Park. It is hoped that Matheus Nunes can start against Crystal Palace. He remains City’s first-choice right-back and Enzo Maresca’s side did look a lot better when Nunes came on in the second half against Bournemouth. Nunes is working his way back to full fitness so perhaps he may start, but isn’t ready to play the full 90 minutes just yet. Whether this occurs will be known the starting lineups are announced ahead of tomorrow night’s match. Elliot Anderson is fully fit and available to play for Manchester City against Crystal Palace tomorrow night. That is great news for Enzo Maresca’s side as they will face a tough and combative side at Selhurst Park and will need Elliot Anderson in midfield.
