Manchester City vs. Fulham: predicted line up with De Bruyne OUT
By Laura Graves
Ederson
Almost certain to place his number (3)1 between the sticks after some putting on some excellent performances in recent games.
Stones
Johnny, Johnny Stones! Incredibly in form at the moment, though with tendency for injury, will Pep look to avoid that in such a crucial period of the season?
Akanji
Absolute bargain for the blues, this guy has come in and slotted in brilliantly. Excellent bit of business for the club. Solid and reliably, pocketing Saka as a converted left back temporarily.
Dias
It is no coincidence that defence has come together, and results are rolling in since this Portuguese returned to the side. Father Ruben, bless you!
Laporte
This fixture should allow for some gametime for Laporte who has rumoured to be departing the club during the summer transfer window.
