Nico Gonzalez doing a few hops, skips and sprints on the touchline as he tries to run off that knock to the knee.

Could Rodri, the man he has replaced in the middle of the park, get a return to action tonight?

The Spaniard has only seen one minute of action over the last two months.

Sunderland have carried the greater threat despite having less of the ball, which was always going to happen.

Rodri is on Manchester City's bench. Whether he is ready to play some minutes, who knows.

Nico Gonzalez is going to try to continue.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner speaking to BBC Match of the Day:

"Two big chance and incredible saves from Henderson. We are in survival mode right now. As long as the legs did what we wanted them to do we were ok. We didn't give them a lot, we created and scored a nice goal. Then it was a question of time to concede, the pressure increased and we couldn't release from it.

"I have huge appreciation from the players, I can see their effort. We have so many games and the squad is quite short of numbers, but they give everything they have. I know these players will give their best in every single game."

On Fulham manager Marco Silva saying he knew Palace would get tired:

"It's not worrying me, it's about finding a solution. Every manger look to find the weaknesses of the opposition. The next three games I don't expect many changes [players coming back].

"When the legs and the mind are not that fresh it's a little bit difficult. It was a good point today."

On Mateta scoring after a run of one goal in eight games:

"It was a great goal, a great header, a fantastic cross from Clyne. It will help him but us definitely. I spoke to him yesterday, it's normal as a striker to have some periods when you don't score. It told him since I arrived he is something like fourth in goals behind only Erling Haaland, Mo Salah and Cole Palmer.

"I said that's normal, I always trust he can score goals for us and give everything to help the team. Today he could."

Well Nathan Ake has been fine to continue but it looks like another possible injury blow here for Manchester City.

Nico Gonzalez is holding his knee after what looks like a pretty innocuous incident with Brian Brobbey.

Tottenham have failed to have a shot on target so far in this match.

In the Premier League this season, no side have recorded fewer shots (69) or shots on target (20) in the first half of matches than Spurs.

Versatile Brentford player Keane Lewis-Potter plays a good one-two on the right side but sees his cross headed away.

Not the most exciting game in truth.

That Brian Brobbey miss has sparked the Stadium of Light into life.

Every challenge and misplaced City pass is now being greeted with deafening roars.

Again, it's another little half a chance for Sunderland.

Trai Hume opens up his foot up a little too much.

Sunderland are up for this now and so are their fans.

Good work from Simon Adingra and Trai Hume gets an opportunity but can't get it on target.

Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario's clearance goes straight to Yehor Yarmoliuk but the Brentford player is too far from goal to shoot.

I can't really be bothered writing about 20 times in this game that Michael Kayode is drying a ball with a towel before taking a long throw-in so just imagine that's happening at any given moment in this game.

That is terrific strength by Brian Brobbey and a good save by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

They'll be encouraged by these first 20 minutes.

Big moment.

Brentford defender Rico Henry has a shot with a volley from about 35 yards, deflected by Richarlison out for a throw-in.

A big ball hoofed up from the back is latched onto by Brian Brobbey, who completely out-muscles Ruben Dias, shaking the City defender off.

Brobbey's shot is parried away by Gianluigi Donnarumma and Dias recovers in time to deal with the loose ball.

There is encouragement for Wilson Odobert, get it down and get at Michael Kayode.

Tottenham's Wilson Odobert gets into the box but sees his pass blocked.

Odobert won three duels in the opening 10 minutes, the most of any player and three times the amount of the whole Brentford side combined (one).

Do with that information what you will.
