PEP GUARDIOLA PREVIEW
When asked if Fulham are a surprise package in the pre-match press conference ahead of this weekend’s match-up, Guardiola said: “Exceptional for the way they play.
“[Aleksandar] Mitrovic is an important player but isn’t available through suspension. We have to be intense, aggressive and try to attack as much as possible.”
PREVIOUS MEETING
Our last league trip to Craven Cottage saw City produce a fine second-half performance to beat Fulham 3-0 and extend our unbeaten run away from home to a club record-equalling 16 matches back in March 2021.
John Stones, Gabriel Jesus and a Sergio Aguero penalty did the damage west London, with three goals in 15 minutes securing a crucial three points in our bid to regain the Premier League title.
We won the reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium this season, with Erling Haaland’s stoppage time penalty for ten-man City securing a dramatic 2-1 Premier League victory.

LAST TIME OUT
Pep Guardiola’s men overcame title rivals Arsenal 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening to move to within two points of the leaders, with two games in hand.
Meanwhile, Marco Silva’s Fulham fell to defeat in their midweek fixture against Aston Villa, as Tyrone Mings’ goal condemned them to a slender 1-0 defeat at Villa Park.
