The opposition
For the third match in a row, Fulham take on unbeaten opposition in the Premier League. After ending Newcastle and Nottingham Forestβs runs, Manchester City now represent our toughest test of the season so far.
The champions are actually in a slightly sticky patch by their exceptionally high standards, dropping points in each of their last two Premier League matches. After snatching a late point at home to title rivals Arsenal, they were also held at St Jamesβ Park last week.
Team news
ποΈ Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb will be absent for City.
π€ There are no fresh injury concerns for Marco Silva. Jorge Cuenca (ankle) is out until after the international break, while Carlos VinΓcius remains unavailable.
Tickets
