Manchester City vs Fulham – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Manchester City host Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, aiming to put pressure on league leaders Arsenal.

The Citizens have moved within six points of the summit following a vital 2–1 victory over Liverpool. Manager Pep Guardiola now prepares to face Fulham, the very opponent against whom Erling Haaland netted his 100th Premier League goal during a chaotic 5–4 thriller in early December. City arrive at the Etihad riding a historic 19-game winning streak against the Cottagers. A victory today solidifies their title credentials before a high-profile winter schedule.

Manchester City Team News

Pep Guardiola manages a squad nearing full strength despite minor defensive concerns. Notably, a head injury sustained at Anfield leaves Abdukodir Khusanov as a major doubt. Consequently, Ruben Dias returns to the heart of the defence. This marks his first start since early January. Furthermore, Phil Foden pushes for a recall after scoring twice in the reverse fixture. Erling Haaland remains the focal point. He boasts seven goals in seven appearances against Fulham.

Gianluigi Donnarumma starts in goal. Matheus Nunes and Rayan Aït-Nouri likely feature in the defensive line ahead of him. Rodri anchors the midfield alongside Nico O’Reilly. Further forward, Rayan Cherki and Bernardo Silva provide the creative spark. City enjoy a staggering 55-game unbeaten run in midweek home league matches.
