Manchester City focus, team news

City had few problems in Slovakia and beat Bratislava 4-0. They were able to rest Mateo Kovacic, Ederson and Bernardo Silva and call on Ruben Dias, Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish for less than half an hour.

OUT OF: Rodri (knee – season out)Oscar Bobb (lower leg), Nathan Ake (thigh), Kevin De Bruyne (groin)

Fulham focus, team news

The Cottagers have a number of playmakers. New signing Emile Smith Rowe has rightly been given his flowers, but Andreas Pereira is one of the Premier League's top five players when it comes to key passes per game. And USMNT left back Antonee Robinson has emerged as one of the best at his position.

Missing: Carlos Vinicius (calf), Jorge Cuenca (ankle)

Manchester City vs Fulham prediction

The Cottagers have done a good job replacing Palhinha and they will feel they can compete in the middle of the park with Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne missing for City. Can Fulham fire out of the gates and take the lead at the Etihad? Maybe, but City could perhaps have used their midweek outing to get out of their mini-funk (two draws). Man City 2-0 Fulham.
