Team news:
No fresh problems for Fulham. Still out are forward Hugo Rodallega and their captain Brede Hangeland, while defender Fernando Amorebieta has chances to return. They lost with 1-4 vs Everton in the last round, but their starting 11 will be unchanged. The visitors from Manchester City are still without Sergio Aguero, Stevan Jovetic, Matija Nastasic and Micah Richards, while the only new problem is with right back Zabaleta, who also will miss this trip.
Match facts:
Last season Man City made a double over Fulham after two victories with 2-1 and 2-0. In the last 5 years there was 12 head to head matches in all competitions - 2 victories for Fulham, 5 for the opponent and 5 draws. Last Fulham win vs City was in 2009 away at home, while their last home win was in 2005.
Probable lineups:
Fulham - Stekelenburg, Riise, Hughes, Senderos, Riether, Sidwell, Parker, Karagounis, Kacaniklic, Berbatov, Dejagah
Man City - Hart, Boyata, Demichelis, Kompany, Clichy, Fernandinho, Toure, Navas, Silva, Nasri, Negredo
Prediction:
Fulham are 19th in the table after 4-1-11 (15-30). In the last round they lost vs Everton with 1-4 and this was 8th lose in the last 9 games in all competitions. City are 4th in the table after 10-2-4 (47-18). The best attack from them after 47 scored goals in 16 fixtures. Great moment form after 3 victories in a row - 3-2 vs Bayern Munich, 6-3 vs Arsenal and 3-1 vs Leicester, so I expect their wining streak to continue.
PICK: Manchester City to win @ 1,36 Bet365
Good Luck!
