Manchester City can take the next step towards Premier League glory when they travel against Fulham on Sunday.
City are firmly in the driver’s seat after beating Arsenal 4-1 but cannot afford to slip up when they face a Fulham side whose Europa League hopes have been dashed by a miserable run of six defeats in the last eight games were nullified .
The sides’ clash in November required a 95th-minute Erling Haaland penalty to decide the result and so Pep Guardiola will require full concentration as they begin to stretch an arm towards the Premier League title.
Here’s everything you need to know about this one.

Willian missed the previous game after retiring in warm-up with a hamstring injury and needs to be judged here, while Harry Wilson also had to escape with an illness that could prevent his participation here.
Aleksandar Mitrovic’s suspension and Layvin Kurzawa’s injury are ongoing issues for Fulham.
Expected Fulham line-up (4-2-3-1): lathe; Tete, Adarabioyo, Ries, Robinson; reed, palhinha; James, Pereira, Solomon; Decordova-Reid

Kevin De Bruyne was substituted off against Arsenal in the last ten minutes after complaining about what Guardiola described as “nods”. How serious these problems were is unclear.
The only confirmed absence at this point is defender Nathan Ake, who will remain on the touchline due to a muscle injury, although Guardiola is confident the Dutchman will be available again soon.
Estimated line-up of Man City (3-2-4-1): Ederson; Akanji, Dias, Laporte; stones Rodri; Mahrez, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Grealish; Haland
While Fulham should be very proud of their performances this season, their recent form has been miles from the high standards they set early in the campaign and City will lick their lips for meeting them.
The likely absence of Willian and Wilson alongside Mitrovic could leave Fulham a bit toothless in attack and give City plenty of confidence.
Expect a routine win for City, who temporarily claim top spot here with three points.
