RB – Malo Gusto

There was some concern that the Frenchman had picked up yet another injury versus Palace.

Gusto had to be substituted late on in the second half at Selhurst Park, with Alfie Gilchrist replacing him.

However, when asked about the 20-year-old’s fitness after the match, Pochettino played down concerns by saying that the fullback was simply suffering from fatigue.

If that is the case then Gusto should be fit and ready to start at the Etihad this weekend.
