Fulham host Manchester City at Craven Cottage on Saturday (Watch live, 8:30 a.m. ET on NBCSN and online via NBCSports.com), as Pep Guardiola’s side know a win will take them back to the top of the Premier League table.
Caretaker boss Scott Parker knows his Fulham side are all but relegated from the Premier League, but this is a huge chance for him to show he deserves the job on a permanent basis. As for City and Guardiola, their quest to win an unprecedented quadruple is well and truly on and everyone expects them to pile the pressure on Liverpool who play on Sunday against Tottenham.
In team news Fulham are without Aleksandar Mitrovic, Tim Ream and Jean-Michael Seri so Cyrus Christie, Maxime Le Marchand and Ryan Sessegnon come into the starting lineup.
Man City’s Kevin de Bruyne returns to the starting lineup, while Fernandinho is also fit again and is on the bench. De Bruyne comes in for Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte replaces Vincent Kompany.
