Doku set for City debut as Lillo makes three changes | OneFootball

Jeremy Doku is set to make his Manchester City debut against Fulham in Saturday’s Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium.

The Belgian international joined the Club last week and was on the bench in last weekend’s 2-1 victory over Sheffield United, but wasn’t called into action at Bramall Lane.

He’s joined in the starting XI by Phil Foden and Manuel Akanji, with Josko Gvardiol and Bernardo Silva among the substitutes, while Jack Grealish misses out through injury.

Foden, who has enjoyed a scintillating start to the campaign, played a major role in our late winner against the Blades last time out and has been deemed fit enough to start proceedings at the Etihad alongside Akanji, who Lillo admitted was only ruled out last week as a precautionary measure.

Newest recruit Matheus Nunes, who joined City from fellow Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers on deadline day, is also on the bench this afternoon.

City Team

City XI: Ederson, Walker (C), Dias, Akanji, Ake, Rodrigo, Kovacic, Foden, Doku, Alvarez, Haaland.

Subs: Ortega Moreno, Carson, Phillips, Bernardo, Gómez, Gvardiol, Nunes, Bobb, Lewis.
