Fulham travel to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, aiming to break a historic 19-game losing streak against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
The Cottagers enter a difficult period after losing three of their last four matches. Manager Marco Silva recently oversaw a narrow 2–1 defeat to Everton. However, the reverse fixture offers a glimmer of hope. Fulham pushed City to the limit in a dramatic 5–4 thriller that featured a brace from Samuel Chukwueze. Now, they face the ultimate test at a ground where they have won just three times in 44 visits. A positive result tonight remains essential to prevent them from slipping out of the top half of the table.
Fulham Team News
Marco Silva welcomes back key defensive figures to bolster his backline. Notably, Calvin Bassey and Antonee Robinson return to the starting XI. However, midfield issues persist as a thigh injury continues to sideline Sasa Lukic. Consequently, Sander Berge partners Alex Iwobi in the engine room. Furthermore, captain Tom Cairney remains a major doubt after sustaining a calf injury in training.
Bernd Leno starts in goal behind a defence that includes Kenny Tete and Joachim Andersen. In attack, Raúl Jiménez leads the line. Harry Wilson and Emile Smith Rowe support him; notably, both scored in that remarkable December meeting. Finally, Samuel Chukwueze—who nearly snatched an equaliser in the reverse fixture—starts on the wing to complete the attacking unit.
Fulham Predicted Lineup
Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Cuenca, Robinson; Iwobi, Berge; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Chukwueze; Jimenez
