Manchester City travel to London on Tuesday knowing they cannot afford to drop points in the title race.
Pep Guardiola’s side currently sit five points behind leaders Arsenal. Although they secured a dramatic 3-2 win over Leeds at the weekend, recent performances have been uncharacteristically shaky. In fact, the title chasers have conceded six goals in their last three games across all competitions.
Therefore, tightening up defensively will be a priority against a confident Fulham side. City will rely on their incredible historical dominance over the Cottagers. Remarkably, they have won the last 18 meetings between the two sides.
Manchester City team news
Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Rodri will not make the trip to London. Unfortunately, the midfielder is also a major doubt for the weekend’s game against Sunderland. The City boss faces a potential selection headache regarding discipline. Both Bernardo Silva and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma are currently walking a tightrope.
In fact, both players are on four yellow cards and are just one booking away from a one-match suspension. Guardiola acknowledged the goalkeeper’s poor disciplinary record following his yellow card against Leeds.
In attack, Guardiola is expected to stick with the formula that secured victory at the weekend. Phil Foden is in sensational form following his brace in that match. Consequently, he is set to operate in a central role. Erling Haaland will lead the line as usual. Meanwhile, competition for places on the flanks remains fierce, with Jérémy Doku and Savinho battling for a starting spot to support the front two.
