Fulham Team News:-
The only injury concern for Fulham is with Serbian midfielder Sasa Lukic, who is excluded by Silva due to a "small issue in his calf".
Harrison Reed, who recovered from a knock that kept him out of the Brentford draw, may start in centre midfield with Joao Palhinha in Lukic's absence, while Alex Iwobi plays in the forward position with Andreas Pereira and Willian.
Tosin Adarabioyo, a former Man City player, has not been included in the Fulham lineup for the past two games. He has likely played his final game for the team as his current contract expires in June. Adarabioyo reportedly declined a contract extension.
Rodrigo Muniz, who has scored seven of his nine Premier League goals at Craven Cottage this season, is expected to lead the defence line once more. Issa Diop and Calvin Bassey will likely continue in central defence.
Expected Lineup (4-2-3-1) :- Leno; Castagne, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Palhinha, Reed; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Muniz
Manchester City Team News:-
After overcoming a minor shoulder injury to start last weekend, Ederson is expected to stay in goal. Ruben Dias, on the other hand, made it into the matchday squad after recovering from illness, and he and John Stones will be pushing for a return to central defence.
Following his recent recovery from illness, Phil Foden is also prepared to lead the attack against Fulham. The Englishman may start alongside Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne, but Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku will both be looking to push their way back into the starting lineup.
