As Manchester City prepare to face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, we have tried to call the visitors’ predicted lineup.
Despite City just coming off the back of a 4-1 victory against Arsenal and fixtures coming thick and past, we expect Pep Guardiola to just make one change to his side.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Fulham
After perhaps one of his most comfortable outings in a big game against the Gunners, Ederson could perhaps be tested against Fulham as he starts in our Manchester City predicted lineup.
Considering how impressive Kyle Walker was up against Gabriel Martinelli, he is likely to keep his place on merit.
John Stones, who got on the scoresheet and was typically classy against Mikel Arteta’s side is also expected to start proceedings.
The same goes for Ruben Dias, who has been a rock at the back ever since returning to full fitness.
Manuel Akanji, who stood out in an unnatural left-back role against Arsenal, and was lauded by Ralf Rangnick for his transformation at Manchester City is also set to start in our predicted lineup against Fulham.
In defensive midfield, Rodri is simply the most irreplaceable presence in the side without question.
Ilkay Gundogan, who was at his metronomic best against the league leaders also retains his place in the side.
As for Kevin De Bruyne, his Man of the Match showing against Arsenal makes him an even bigger guarantee to start in our Manchester City predicted lineup.
The one and only change could be witnessing the return of Phil Foden in a starting capacity, with Bernardo Silva dropping to the bench.
Branded as a ‘magician’ by Pep Guardiola via GOAL, Sky Blues supporters across the world would be buzzing to see him start once again after a spell out due to his appendix surgery.
To even justify Erling Haaland’s inclusion would be stating the obvious.
While at left-wing, Jack Grealish, who continues to raise the bar week in, week out is yet another indispensable starter in the side at this point.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Fulham: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Akanji, Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Foden, Haaland
