PREVIEW: Fulham vs Man City


It's an absolutely HUGE weekend of Premier League football and it all kicks off at Craven Cottage on Saturday lunchtime.


Manchester City, currently second in the league, travel to second-bottom in Fulham - in what looks a routine win (on paper) for the visitors.


City, the reigning champions, have the chance to overtake Liverpool - who lead the pack - with the Reds not in action until Sunday.

 

Team News


Fulham forward Andre Schurrle could play for the hosts, after missing the last five games with a virus.


Timothy Ream and Jean Michael Seri will both be assessed late on for Scott Parker's side, following long journeys back from the international break. Alfie Mawson remains sidelined.


Manchester City have the likes of Kevin de Bruyne, Fernandinho, John Stones, Benjamin Mendy, Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi all set to return.


Fabian Delph and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo are the only players injured and unavailable for Pep Guardiola.

The Managers


Fulham caretaker boss Parker was very complimentary of Saturday's opponents, claiming City will go down as "one of the greatest sides".


"Manchester City are a fantastic team with a manager who will go down as one of the greatest. But we're looking forward to it."

"For all of the big positives that have come from the last few matches, the points haven't been there, but it's been fine margins in all of the games."

Man City manager Guardiola doesn't believe the international break of two weeks had a disruption on his team's flow and rhythm.


"I would say after the international break we came back good, the rhythm is quite similar."

"Now we will play 11 games and we deserve to play 12, maybe 14, maybe 15. Game by game, we see what happens."
