Manchester City clash with Fulham on Wednesday night and will be without 5 first team players.

Just over two months on from their nine-goal thriller at Craven Cottage, the two sides meet at the Etihad Stadium this week as manager Pep Guardiola attempts to pick up 3 points once again.

City enter the game on the back of a 2-1 comeback victory at Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, whilst Fulham suffered a similar result in a 2-1 defeat to Everton on Saturday. 

Guardiola’s side have grabbed 44 points from a possible 51 available across their last 17 Premier League home games this season as they aim to pick up another win to keep the title race alive. 

However, City will be without Josko Gvardiol (calf/Shin/Heel Injury) and John Stones (thigh) in defence as the likes of Abdukodir Khusanov, Marc Guehi and Ruben Dias step in to provide cover. 

Elsewhere, Mateo Kovacic (ankle/foot Injury), Jeremy Doku (calf/shin/heel Injury), Savio Moreira de Oliveira (thigh) are all also unavailable as City look to narrow Arsenal’s lead to just 3 points on Wednesday night. 

Fulham will miss Sasa Lukic and captain Tom Cairney for the clash, while January signing Oscar Bobb joined Fulham from Man City for a reported £27M and will face his former side. This will be a welcome return for the Norwegian star, who is much loved by fans.
