Team News Ahead of the Match

Manchester City

Manchester City were approximately 10 minutes away from potentially falling out of the Premier League title race and trailing leaders Arsenal by nine points, but Pep Guardiola’s side demonstrated champion mentality by staging a comeback to secure a crucial 2-1 victory over Liverpool in dramatic fashion at a stadium where they had previously won only once in 10 visits under the Catalan coach.

Bernardo Silva’s equalizer in the 84th minute was followed by Erling Haaland’s decisive penalty in the 93rd minute, helping The Citizens reduce the gap at the top of the table to six points.

City could even narrow the deficit to just three points with a victory over Fulham before Arsenal travel to in-form Brentford on Thursday.

Guardiola and his players also welcome a return to the Etihad Stadium, where they have collected 44 points from a possible 51 in their last 17 Premier League home matches, recording 14 wins, two draws, and one defeat, and remain unbeaten in their last 11 home fixtures with nine wins and two draws. Only Sunderland have a longer ongoing unbeaten home run with 12 matches.

Manchester City have every reason to feel confident ahead of this fixture, considering they have won their last 19 meetings against Fulham in all competitions and have prevailed in each of their last 16 Premier League encounters.

Both winning streaks represent the longest such runs recorded by one team over another in the history of English league football.

In addition, The Citizens are extremely comfortable playing midweek at the Etihad, as they have not lost any of their last 55 Premier League home matches played on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, recording 47 wins and eight draws, since a narrow 1-0 defeat to Tottenham in May 2010.

Regarding Manchester City’s squad condition, Jeremy Doku, who is dealing with a calf injury, Savinho with an unspecified issue, Josko Gvardiol with a shin fracture, and Mateo Kovacic with ankle and heel problems remain in the treatment room.

However, John Stones has reportedly “returned” according to Guardiola and has the opportunity to be included in the matchday squad.

Meanwhile, Abdukodir Khusanov is available after being withdrawn against Liverpool as a concussion substitute.

The Uzbekistan defender will compete with Ruben Dias for a central defensive position alongside new signing Marc Guehi.

Haaland has been involved in 10 goals in just seven Premier League appearances against Fulham, scoring seven goals and providing three assists.

He may once again be supported by Antoine Semenyo, who has been involved in five goals in his last three Premier League matches against Fulham, including contributions to all of Bournemouth’s goals in a 3-1 victory earlier this season.

Both Semenyo and Omar Marmoush supported Haaland against Liverpool, but Guardiola may be tempted to recall Rayan Cherki and or Phil Foden, with Foden having scored twice in City’s previous 5-4 victory at Craven Cottage.

Fulham

Fulham are among the group of Premier League teams still competing to secure European qualification as the season approaches its final third, but a sequence of three defeats in their last four matches has slightly hindered their push toward the top seven.

The Cottagers defeated Brighton 2-1 between narrow losses to Leeds 1-0 and Manchester United 3-2, before surrendering a one-goal lead in the final 15 minutes and losing 2-1 at home to Everton last weekend.

An own goal by Bernd Leno proved decisive in that defeat, marking Fulham’s 11th loss of the season.

Head coach Marco Silva lamented Fulham’s lack of sharpness in the final third and how his side “stopped playing” in the second half against Everton after dominating the opening 45 minutes.

As a result, Fulham have slipped to 10th in the standings and trail seventh-placed Brentford by four points.

Returning to winning ways will not be easy for Fulham, who have managed to win only three of their 44 Premier League away matches against teams starting the day in the top three positions, recording nine draws and 32 defeats, with those victories coming against Manchester United in October 2003, Tottenham in March 2013, and Chelsea in December 2024.

As a manager, Marco Silva has lost all 13 of his league meetings against Manchester City, representing the worst 100 percent losing record of any manager against a single opponent in the top flight.

Fulham have also lost their last eight league visits to the blue side of Manchester with an aggregate score of 25-4.

Nevertheless, three of Fulham’s four Premier League victories over City have occurred at the Etihad Stadium.

Regarding Fulham’s squad condition, Sasa Lukic is still recovering from a thigh injury, while captain Tom Cairney missed the defeat to Everton due to a calf problem and remains unavailable for selection.

Marco Silva is considering making several changes in defense, with Kenny Tete at right back, Calvin Bassey at the heart of defense, and Antonee Robinson at left back pushing for starting opportunities in place of Timothy Castagne, Jorge Cuenca, and Ryan Sessegnon.

January signing Oscar Bobb joined Fulham from Manchester City for a reported fee of £27 million and made his debut as a substitute against Everton.

The Norwegian winger is not expected to displace Fulham’s leading scorer this season, Harry Wilson, who has netted nine goals, but he could pose a threat to Samuel Chukwueze’s place in the starting XI.
