Manchester City vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League score and ...
Manchester City will want to avoid any more slip ups when they host Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola’s side remain unbeaten in the league with the same number of points as Arsenal, but have dropped points in two successive matches.
City have struggled in the absence of Rodri, who sustained an ACL injury ruling him out for the rest of the season, and Kevin De Bruyne who could make his return against Fulham.
But City will be hoping their dominant 4-0 win over Slovan Bratislava in the Champions LEague has had a similar effect on their league form.
Fulham have started the season in solid form, currently in sixth after winning three and losing just one of their opening six matches.

SAVE! Ederson foils Traore again! The latter is set free down the left and arrows in on goal, but his Brazilian counterpart is quick to narrow the angle and smothers a close-range shot with a crucial save! City are still vulnerable to the counter-attack.
CLOSE! Lewis controls the ball brilliantly and fires a first-time volley towards the target from 20 yards out, but it's kept from sneaking into the net by an inadvertent touch from Haaland! His intervention sees the ball travel wide by a matter of inches - unlucky!

Again teeing up a team-mate on the edge of the area, Bernardo Silva lays a pass off for Foden, who fires over the crossbar from around 20 yards out. It was always rising.
Now in total control - albeit with just a one-goal advantage - Manchester City's chances of claiming maximum points are 87% according to Opta's live win-predictor. Fulham? Just 2%.
Rising to the challenge of replacing Rodri in the champions' midfield, Kovacic has not only scored twice today but he's also dictating play, picking the ball up from his defence and spraying it around confidently.
