Fulham and Manchester City will face each other in the Premier League this weekend. The game between the Cottagers and the Citizens is slated to kick off at 8pm UK time on Saturday and could be a very interesting game of football.
Fulham
Fulham are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season. The Cottagers are third from bottom in the Premier League table at the moment with 26 points from 28 matches, level on points with 17th-placed Brighton and Hove Albion, who have played 27 games.
Scott Parker’s side have been playing well in recent weeks, and last weekend, they picked up all three points against defending English champions Liverpool. Mario Lemina’s goal on the stroke of half time proved to be the difference between the two sides at Anfield. The win has enhanced Fulham’s chances of escaping the dreaded drop to the Championship at the end of the season.
Team News:
Josh Maja will lead the line for Fulham, while Ademola Lookman will be looking to produce yet another good performance for the Cottagers.
Manchester City
Manchester City’s long winning run came to an end last weekend when they went down 2-0 to Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League. Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring for the Red Devils from the penalty spot after just two minutes, and Luke Shaw added a second five minutes into the second half.
City bounced back from the defeat in the Manchester City with a 5-2 hammering of Southampton at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Wednesday evening. The result means that Pep Guardiola’s side are now at the top of the league table with 68 points from 29 matches, as many as 14 points clear of second-placed United, who have played 28 games.
Team News:
Sergio Aguero came on as a substitute against Southampton and could lead the line against Fulham, having recovered from his injury.
