FUL vs MCI: Guardiola's Strongest XI that could see them leapfrog Arsenal with a win over Fulham

opera.com 2024/11/1

Manchester City are aiming to continue their impressive form as they prepare for a clash against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday.

After a resounding 5-1 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Manchester City's squad depth was further strengthened with the return of Phil Foden and Ruben Dias.

Goalkeeper Ederson has recovered from a minor shoulder issue and is set to retain his place in goal.

The defensive lineup of Kyle Walker, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake, and Josko Gvardiol may remain unchanged, although Ruben Dias and John Stones are vying for a central defensive role.

The midfield stability provided by Rodri, who hasn't seen a loss in the last 71 games he started, is crucial. Mateo Kovacic could partner with him, bringing experience and creativity to the midfield.

In the attacking front, the trio of Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, and Bernardo Silva are likely to feature prominently.

However, Guardiola has the option to introduce Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish for added dynamism.

Erling Haaland's incredible goal-scoring prowess makes him a certain starter, especially after his four-goal heroics against Wolves.

Guardiola might also consider Julian Alvarez, although it's unlikely he'll displace Haaland, who has been instrumental in City's success.
