Team News

Manchester City
Man City will be without Rodri (ACL) for the rest of the season, while Oscar Bobb (leg fracture), Nathan Ake (muscle) and Kevin De Bruyne (groin) are also in the treatment room, with the latter two set to target a return after the international break.

After making six changes in midweek, Guardiola is set to recall a few senior stars including goalkeeper Ederson and centre-back Ruben Dias, while Kyle Walker could return at right-back if Rico Lewis is deployed in midfield once again.

Mateo Kovacic, Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish will all be pushing to start in midfield, while Haaland, who has scored five goals in just four Premier League games against Fulham, has been passed fit to play by Guardiola and is expected to lead the line.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Lewis, Kovacic; Bernardo, Foden, Grealish; Haaland

Fulham
As for the Cottagers, their only injury concerns are with striker Carlos Vinicius, who is nursing a "small injury to his calf", and defender Jorge Cuenca who remains out with an ankle problem.

Silva is unlikely to make too many changes, if any, to his starting lineup, with a back four of Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey and Antonee Robinson set to remain intact, protecting goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Sander Berge and Harrison Reed will be pushing for a recall in midfield at the expense of Sasa Lukic, while Adama Traore - who scored twice for Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad in 2019 - is set to keep Reiss Nelson waiting for a start on the right flank.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Pereira; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez
Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Fulham
