Form guide

City go into the game after comprehensively beating Southampton 5-2 on Wednesday evening, and are 14 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Third-bottom Fulham are in excellent form, with just one defeat in their last seven games during which they have won three and drawn three.

They have also kept five clean sheets in those seven matches, conceding just twice as Scott Parker looks to steer the Cottagers out of the bottom three.

Fulham team

XI: Areola, Tete, Andersen, Loftus-Cheek, Adarabioyo, Cavaleiro, Lemina, Lookman, Reed, Abguissa, Aina

Subs: Fabri, Hector, Ream, Kongolo, Bryan, Robinson, Onomah, Maja, Mitrovic

City team

XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Laporte, Mendy, Rodrigo, Bernardo, Torres, Jesus, Aguero

Subs: Steffen, Walker, Gundogan, Zinchenko, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Foden, Garcia

City tactics

It would appear City are set to lineup with a 3-5-2 system – a deviation from our usual 4-3-3.

A back three of John Stones, Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte will offer protection in front of Ederson, with Joao Cancelo and Benjamin Mendy given licence to attack in wing-back roles.

Rodrigo will sit deep and play the defensive-midfield role, with Bernardo Silva and Ferran Torres just ahead of him.

And Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero look set to play in tandem in a two-man strike force.

It’s an intriguing selection. 

Last Meeting

Goals from Raheem Sterling and a Kevin De Bruyne penalty gave City a 2-0 at the Etihad last December.
