Back your rumours with sources or state it's your personal speculation which is fair enough.
My own take on this matter is that Pep's status quo remains in place i.e. Yaya will not be named in the first team squad until Seluk apologises to the collective management of MCFC.


NB. January sales now start on Boxing Day
Going off what I have seen others saying on twitter mainly. Cannot see it myself.
 
PEP: The players who played 90 minutes are tired, especially the South Americans. But they are fit and that is the most important thing.
PEP: The schedule is so stressful for the players. It’s so demanding. We cannot lose, cannot play bad. We have to handle that. #mcfc
PEP: We create enough to win the games and concede few. But we need to improve to find the right way to win these kinds of games. #mcfc
PEP: It will be tough. A coach with a lot of experience in England. They are fast, one against one. We know the situation. #palacevcity
PEP: @97_aleix is very talented. There are 23 in the squad who all need to play, but he is fantastic and we are all very happy with him.
PEP: We are delighted (Gabriel Jesus) is coming in January. At 19 is not easy but we have Fernando and Fernandinho, and they will help him.
 

Thanks Karen
The BBC really are a disgrace. I've been updating their managers press conference feed for the last hour or waiting to read something from our leader and after about 3000 words from that twat over the road it gave 2 short paragraphs on Pep's conference and one of those was a question about fuckin Shrek!!!!! Unbelievable. I didn't know the city website did live updates as it happened so thank ypu. I know where to look next time :-)

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Steve Mandanda will be out for a couple of weeks with a knee injury so Wayne Hennessey will be recalled on Saturday.

Joe Ledley and Lee Chung-yong both face late fitness tests.

Manchester City could welcome back Bacary Sagna, who has recovered from a hamstring problem, but Fabian Delph remains out with a groin injury.

Vincent Kompany is available, with his withdrawal from international duty purely precautionary.
 
Palace have the players to hurt any team, especially at home. This one won't be easy and it will need our best 11 and no Kolarov at CB to get a result. Zaha, Townsend and Benteke not a bad front 3. Especially with our full backs.
Kolarov is guaranteed to play. His been at practice all week. So more Likely than not he has been following the game plan. I'd be shocked if he doesn't start.
