MATCH PREVIEW
Fulham and Manchester City face off in match day 32 of the Premier League at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
The game is an important one for both teams but for completely different reasons. The match is a must-win for Fulham, who are 14 points away from relegation safety, while Manchester City trail Liverpool by two points in the title race but have a game in hand.
However, Fulham's third manager of the season, Scott Parker, does not have much to be optimistic around, as not only his team is facing the league leaders, but the Lillywhites are also on a poor run of seven consecutive defeats. Making matters worse, Manchester City have won five out of their last six matches in all competitions.
Both teams have already met 27 times in the league competition, with Man City winning 14 times (including each of the last seven) compared to Fulham's four.
PREDICTED LINEUPS
Manchester City: Ederson, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, David Silva, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, Sergio Aguero.
Fulham: Sergio Rico, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Tim Ream, Calum Chambers, Joe Bryan, Jean Michael Seri, Andre Zambo Anguissa, Tom Cairney, Ryan Babel, Ryan Sessegnon, Aleksandar Mitrovic.
COMBINED XI
PLAYER RECOMMENDATIONS
Ederson (G): Manchester City's Ederson has14 clean sheets in the league this season, which is the second-best behind Liverpool's Allisson. In

COMBINED XI
PLAYER RECOMMENDATIONS
Ederson (G): Manchester City's Ederson has14 clean sheets in the league this season, which is the second-best behind Liverpool's Allisson. In the previous six matches for the club, Ederson has kept four clean sheets, and manager Pep Guardiola will be hoping his star man can continue his good form Saturday.
Bernardo Silva (M): Manchester City's Bernardo Silva is one of those players who normally goes unnoticed. The Portugal international is having a very good season for the club, scoring five goals and assisting six others in 25 Premier League appearances. He also comes in hot, with two goals and two assists in his last two club appearances.
Aleksandar Mitrovic (F): Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic is the team's most in-form player in a dismal season. The former Newcastle United striker has already scored 10 goals and provided two assists in the league , which is more than decent for any number nine in England's top division.
Captain pick: Sergio Aguero
Vice-captain pick: Aleksandar Mitrovic
