Manchester City will welcome Fulham to their home ground for their next Premier League outing on Saturday. Pep Guardiola's team has started the new campaign on the front foot, winning their first three games. Fulham, however, will be desperate to get back on track after going winless in their last two games.
The defending champions have only conceded one goal in their first three matches and have had last season's league top scorer Erling Haaland already score three goals. They will be supremely confident of notching their fourth consecutive league victory.
Fulham will find it difficult to match the hosts' tempo but will hope to put up a fight away from home. They will take confidence from their most recent outing, which was a Carabao Cup win on penalties against Tottenham.
