Manchester City and Fulham have named their starting lineups ahead of today’s Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side will welcome Marco Silva’s high-flying side to the Etihad in what could be a tough test for the world champions. Fulham sit 6th in the league table after making a strong start to the new campaign.
For Manchester City, they will have to tackle the Cottagers without four key players. Rodri, Oscar Bobb, Kevin De and Nathan Ake are all out of today’s match due to injury. Ake and De Bruyne could both return after the international break Pep Guardiola told the media yesterday.
Despite the loss of four key players Manchester City will still field a strong team against Fulham. Here are the starting lineups ahead of today’s match.
