Manchester City vs Fulham – Expected Lineup and Team Updates

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

City recently closed the gap to Arsenal to six points after a crucial 2–1 win against Liverpool. Manager Pep Guardiola is now preparing for the match against Fulham, the same team against which Erling Haaland scored his 100th Premier League goal in a thrilling 5–4 encounter last December. City comes into this match having won 19 consecutive games against Fulham. A win today would strengthen their position in the title race ahead of a busy winter schedule.

Manchester City Team News

Manager Pep Guardiola has a nearly full-strength squad, although there are minor defensive issues. Abdukodir Khusanov is a significant doubt due to a head injury sustained at Anfield. As a result, Ruben Dias will return to the defense for his first start since early January. Phil Foden is also vying for a spot in the starting eleven after scoring twice in the previous meeting. Erling Haaland remains a key player, having scored seven times in seven matches against Fulham.

Gianluigi Donnarumma will start in goal, with Matheus Nunes and Rayan Aït-Nouri likely featuring in defense. Rodri will lead the midfield alongside Nico O’Reilly, while Rayan Cherki and Bernardo Silva will provide creative support. City has an impressive record, being unbeaten in their last 55 home league matches on midweek fixtures.
