Team News

The goal machine is back to the training and is ready to play the next game.

Although neither Kyle Walker nor Kalvin Phillips are anticipated to be required to play this weekend for their clubs, Guardiola was optimistic that they will be ready when Gareth Southgate picks his England selection.

Erling Haaland‘s availability for City’s midweek Champions League quarterfinal against Sevilla was not jeopardized while he heals from foot ligament surgery. Guardiola said, “Hopefully we have him against Fulham,” adding that the league’s leading scorer’s condition is getting better every day.

Bobby Decordova-Reid will serve his ban this weekend after accruing five yellow cards this year, becoming the second Fulham player to do so. Manor Solomon, a long-term injury absence, is expected to join the Jamaican international in the injured list, while Layvin Kurzawa is questionable with a calf strain.

Manchester City possible starting lineup;

Ederson, Tete, Akanji, Ake, Cancelo, De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo, Foden, Haaland, Grealish

Manchester City vs Fulham Prediction

Manchester City will be focused on defending their Premier League title and will have a strong roster at their disposal. Erling Haaland’s health is an issue, thus players like Phil Foden and Jack Grealish will have to stand up in this match.

On their best days, Fulham is well capable of pulling off an upset, but in this game they need to play with everything they have. This Saturday, Manchester City has the advantage since they are the superior team.

We say: Manchester City 3-1 Fulham
