🚨Confirmed XIs: Manchester City aim to close the gap on Arsenal | OneFootball

Manchester City returns to Premier League action this Tuesday night, visiting Craven Cottage to face Fulham. After a nail-biting last-minute victory against Leeds, Pep Guardiola’s team will look to maintain their winning streak, but with the obligation to deliver a much more convincing performance.

City comes from a match where they went ahead 2-0 with goals from Phil Foden and Josko Gvardiol, but two defensive errors in the second half allowed Leeds to equalize, forcing Foden to rescue all three points with a superb goal in stoppage time.

Opportunity to get closer to the top

The midweek matchday is crucial for City. Both Arsenal and Chelsea dropped points with draws last Sunday, opening a window of opportunity in the title race.

A victory would leave the team just two points behind the leader, Arsenal, before they face Brentford. If the Blues want to regain momentum and present themselves as serious contenders, the clash against Fulham is of huge importance.

Fulham’s challenge

Marco Silva’s Fulham, for their part, arrive in improved form, with two consecutive league wins against Sunderland and Tottenham. The Cottagers are in 15th place, six points above the relegation zone, and hope to take advantage of their recent victories to widen that gap.
