Following their dramatic 2-1 win over Liverpool, Manchester City return to Premier League action tonight as they take on Fulham at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side will be eager to build on the momentum they’ve built with their win at Anfield. City will take on a Fulham side who sit 12th in the Premier League table. Marco Silva’s side are a dangerous proposition on their day and have a team that is packed with attacking quality. Tonight’s match will be no stroll for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Here is the latest Manchester City injury news and my predicted City starting eleven ahead of tonight’s match.
Latest Manchester City injury and team news.
Manchester City enter tonight’s match with several players unavailable due to injury, although City’s injury list has been dwindling of late. Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic, Jeremy Doku, and Savinho are all ruled out of tonight’s match. Abdukodir Khusanov sustained a nasty head knock during Manchester City’s win over Liverpool. The young centre-back took a knee to the head from Gianluigi Donnarumma in City’s win. Pep Guardiola told the media yesterday that Khusanov is fine to play in tonight’s match. Whether or not City risk the young defender after he sustained a head injury remains to be seen.
Ruben Dias played the final half-hour of City’s win at Anfield. If Khusanov doesn’t start tonight, Dias could take his place in the City starting eleven. Rodri was exhausted by the final whistle at Anfield, and he could be another player who is rested from the starting lineup tonight. John Stones has continued training, but it seems unlikely that he will feature in tonight’s match.
