Yaya Toure is back in the Manchester City lineup for this afternoon's Premier League match against Crystal Palace.

The Ivorian midfielder has missed the last two games through injury, but has recovered in time to feature today as City look to keep pace with Liverpool and Chelsea at the top of the table.

Toure's inclusion is one of three changes made by manager Manuel Pellegrini, with James Milner and Aleksandar Kolarov also back in the squad. David Silva misses out altogether.

For hosts Crystal Palace, boss Tony Pulis makes one change as Marouane Chamakh comes in for Kagisho Dikgacoi.

Palace: Speroni; Mariappa, Dann, Delaney, Ward; Bolasie, Jedinak, Ledley, Puncheon; Chamakh, Jerome
Subs: Hennessey, Gabbidon, Parr, Dikgacoi, Ince, Gayle, Murray

City: Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Kolarov; Milner, Garcia, Toure, Nasri; Dzeko, Aguero
Subs: Pantilimon, Lescott, Richards, Clichy, Fernandinho, Jovetic, Negredo
