Confirmed line-up: Manchester City vs Fulham (Premier League)
Manchester City welcome Fulham to the Etihad Stadium this weekend for their final game before the final international break of the season.
Josep Guardiola and his players went into this contest on the heels of a disastrous 4-0 defeat in Europe against Slovakia, picking up their first three points in the UEFA Champions League against Slovakia Bratislava.
Goals from Ilkay Gundogan and Phil Foden gave City a comfortable start to the night’s work in the first half, but Erling Haaland and James McAtee sealed the match 45 minutes into the second half.
Manager Guardiola will be hoping for further top performances from his star players ahead of next week’s international matches, but at the same time he is also looking to maintain injury-free status and welcome back two key players after the break. I’m aiming for it.
However, all eyes will still be on Saturday’s game against Fulham, as Marco Silva’s side have been in good form since the start of the season and are unbeaten since losing to Manchester United on the opening weekend.
Nathan Ake and Kevin De Bruyne are expected to return to Manchester City’s first team action and routine after the international break, but they remain ruled out this weekend along with Oscar Bobb and Rodri.
Ahead of kick-off at the Etihad Stadium, both Pep Guardiola and Marco Silva reveal how their respective teams, Manchester City and Fulham, line up in the Premier League match!
