Manchester City head south to face Fulham at Craven Cottage after their legendary panning of league leaders, Arsenal – though the result won’t mean as much if they don’t secure the three points today.

The blues can overtake Arsenal and resume as business as usual on top spot with a win today, and the players, fans, and the boss looked very much up for it at the Etihad on Wednesday.

Fans will hope to see the boys take the same intensity into the Fulham game as they have proven a difficult side to beat earlier in the season after dropping points in the reverse fixture before the World Cup.

With rumours circulating that De Bruyne has not travelled south with the squad, and Ake confirmed to be out of contention due to injury, who will Pep select in his starting line up?
