Jack Grealish To Return | 4-1-4-1 Manchester City Predicted Lineup Vs Fulham | OneFootball

After securing a 5-1 victory over Wolves last week, Manchester City are preparing to face Fulham in an away fixture in the Premier League this weekend. Their recent series of victories will keep their spirits high ahead of the crucial game as they cannot afford to drop points.

Defence

Ederson returned from a shoulder injury and looked a bit shaky. However, he should be starting in the goal for Manchester City. Kyle Walker is likely to play at his usual position of right full-back.

Manuel Akanji has been the most reliable defender in recent months and will start yet another game. John Stones is expected to partner up with him in the middle of the defence, replacing Nathan Ake. Left-back Josko Gvardiol has shown tremendous improvement and is an important player going forward.

Midfield

Unsurprisingly, Rodri remains the engine of the team. However, Mateo Kovacic is likely to be sent to the bench for this game.

While Bernardo Silva is an automatic pick for the right flank, expect Jack Grealish to walk into the XI to operate on the left flank. Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden are two important figures in the lineup and will continue to play in the middle of the attack.

Erling Haaland is back with a bang! He netted four goals against Wolves and was hunting for down as he looked disappointed when Pep Guardiola took him off. He is the leading goal-scorer in the league this season with 25 goals to his name.

The Citizens have no injury concerns or suspension, meaning they have a full-fledged squad available for the game.
