Man City make the trip to Craven Cottage tonight for a fascinating Matchday 14 showdown with Fulham in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola's side may be sitting second in the table, but they haven't quite been their usual relentless selves. With 25 points from 13 outings, eight wins, a draw and four defeats, City's wobbling form has sparked murmurs about whether they’re truly equipped for another title charge.
Fulham, meanwhile, have experienced an up-and-down opening to the campaign, picking up 17 points from their first 13 games under Marco Silva. However, they arrive in buoyant spirits after a superb 2-1 win away at Tottenham on Saturday.

Fulham vs. Manchester City prediction: Who will win today?
Man City's sheer firepower should tilt the balance in their favour, even at a notoriously tricky venue like Craven Cottage.
Fulham's impressive home record means they're more than capable of carving out chances, and they may well find the net, but City's squad depth and long-standing dominance in this fixture makes them strong favourites to walk away with the victory. Erling Haaland has scored six goals in six matches against Fulham, winning on every occasion.

Fulham vs. Man City Team News, Injury Latest
Fulham Team News
- Fulham head into the midweek clash still missing Antonee Robinson, who continues his recovery from a knee issue, while Rodrigo Muniz remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
- Samuel Chukwueze, who played a key role in the win over Spurs with a fine assist, should keep his spot out wide, and Alex Iwobi is expected to anchor the midfield once again.
- At the back, Calvin Bassey and Joachim Andersen look set to partner in central defence, with Bernd Leno between the posts and Raul Jimenez leading the line.
Man City Team News
- Man City, meanwhile, remain without Mateo Kovacic following his recent ankle surgery. The Croatian is still waiting to make his first start in sky blue, having only featured off the bench against Everton and Villarreal.
- Rodri's comeback has also been pushed back, with the Spaniard still working towards full fitness, an increasingly worrying situation for Guardiola given his influence on the side.
- At centre-back, City could turn to Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol, while youngster Nico O'Reilly and midfielder Matheus Nunes may be asked to fill in at full-back. Up front, Erling Haaland is expected to spearhead the attack, flanked by Phil Foden, fresh off a weekend brace, and the electric Jeremy Doku down the left.
