Manchester City will travel to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham on Saturday afternoon looking to go back to the top of the Premier League standings with a win. The Citizens will fancy their chances of getting a resounding victory this weekend as they will be facing off against a side that has conceded 70 goals in 31 league matches this season.
Pep Guardiola will likely stick with his favoured 4-3-3 formation and might be inclined to make quite a few changes to his side for this league encounter at West London.
4-3-3 Manchester City Predicted Lineup To Face Fulham
Defence
Ederson will operate in goal for the Citizens on Saturday despite shipping in two goals against Swansea City in the FA Cup before the international break.
The defensive veterans, Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi, might play together at the heart of Guardiola’s backline as they look to cope with Aleksander Mitrovic’s threat this weekend. John Stones is a significant doubt for this league encounter and will be in a race against time to be fit for this clash.
Oleksandr Zinchenko will once again feature as the left-back while Kyle Walker looks to use his quickness on the right side of the Citizens defence. Danilo could be available to start on the Man City bench for this clash.
Midfield
The Sky Blues of Manchester could lineup with the midfield three of Ilkay Gundogan, David Silva and Bernardo Silva as the talented trio look to retain possession and establish the away side’s dominance at the middle of the park. Both Kevin De Bruyne and Fernandinho are significant concerns for this contest, but the Man City midfield should still have enough quality to get the job done on Saturday.
Attack
The Man City frontline would be comprised of Sergio Aguero spearheading Guardiola’s attack down the middle while Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez stretch the pitch on either flank. All three of them will fancy their chances of scoring a few goals against a Fulham team that has the worst defensive record in the Premier League this term.
Leroy Sane will be available on the Man City bench and might come on during the game if required.
