Man City vs. Fulham lineups, expected starting 11, confirmed team news and injuries: Grealish and Foden to support Haaland?


Man City vs. Fulham lineups, expected starting 11, confirmed team news and injuries: Grealish and Foden to support Haaland?

Manchester City host Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday in their final Premier League outing before the domestic calendar pauses for the October international break.

City eased to a comfortable 4-0 win over Slovan Bratislava in the UEFA Champions League this week following consecutive league draws at home to Arsenal and away to Newcastle United.

Pep Guardiola is having to manage something of an injury crisis, with midfield lynchpin Rodri out for the season, Kevin De Bruyne sidelined for much of the past month, and both Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb still recovering fitness.

The City boss is likely to make one or two changes for the visit of Marco Silva's Fulham, who drew with West Ham last time out. Get the latest team news and predicted lineups below.

City still expect to be without Kevin De Bruyne this weekend, with Guardiola hoping to have the midfielder fully fit again after the October international break.

Man City predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Ederson (GK) -- Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol -- Gundogan, Kovacic -- Silva, Foden, Grealish -- Haaland

Carlos Vinicius is not likely to be fully recovered from a calf injury suffered last month, while summer signing Jorge Cuenca is struggling with an ankle problem.

Rodrigo Muniz may offer a more mobile option in attack than Raul Jimenez, particularly with Fulham likely to play on the counter-attack. Adama Traore and Alex Iwobi should keep their places for that very reason.

Fulham predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Leno (GK) -- Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson -- Pereira, Lukic -- Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi -- Rodrigo Muniz
