The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Fulham lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Manchester City vs Fulham Preview
Fulham are currently in seventh place in the Premier League standings and have consistently punched above their weight this season. The Cottagers were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form this season. The home side edged Leicester City to a 1-0 victory last week and has a point to prove in this fixture.
