Cherki To Start, Reijnders On The Bench | 4-3-3 Manchester City Predicted Lineup Vs Fulham | OneFootball

Manchester City will clash heads with Fulham at Craven Cottage this Tuesday night as they look to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Mancunian giants managed to earn a hard-fought 3-2 win over Leeds United recently, which should keep them in good spirits going into this game.

Pep Guardiola will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make one tweak to his first XI for this clash. Rayan Cherki could get a chance to impress from the start of this game, while Tijjani Reijnders makes way for him and drops to the bench.

4-3-3 Manchester City Predicted Lineup To Face Fulham

Defence

Gianluigi Donnarumma will feature in between the sticks for the Mancunian side after conceding two goals in his last outing. Ruben Dias will function alongside Josko Gvardiol at the centre of the Man City backline as they try to keep things solid on the defensive end of the field.

Matheus Nunes will continue to play as the right-back, while Nico O’Reilly hopes to prove his worth on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves in the Fulham half.

John Stones and Nathan Ake will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Bernardo Silva, Nico Gonzalez and Phil Foden could make up Man City’s midfield this week. The talented trio would have to retain possession well at the centre of the park and engineer some decent chances in the final third.

Tijjani Reijnders will have to settle for a place on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Jeremy Doku will hope to give a good account of himself on the left flank, while Rayan Cherki looks to catch the eye on the right wing. Both of them would be instructed to get in behind the Fulham backline at every chance they get.

Erling Haaland will lead the line for Man City up top. He would be eager to find the back of the net after going scoreless versus Leeds United last weekend.

Savinho and Omar Marmoush will be named on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if required.
