Fulham vs Man City - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction
By Tom Gott
Manchester City can take the next step towards Premier League glory when they travel to face Fulham on Sunday.
After their 4-1 thumping of Arsenal, City are well and truly in the driver's seat but cannot afford to slip up when they face a Fulham side whose Europa League qualification hopes have been dashed by a miserable run of six defeats in their last eight games.
November's meeting between the two teams needed a 95th-minute penalty from Erling Haaland to decide the result, and so Pep Guardiola will demand full focus as they begin to reach one arm out towards the Premier League title.
Here's all you need to know about this one.

Man City team news
Kevin De Bruyne came off in the final ten minutes against Arsenal after complaining of what Guardiola described as 'niggles'. Just how serious those issues were is unclear.
The only confirmed absentee at this point is defender Nathan Ake, whose muscle injury will keep him on the sidelines, although Guardiola is confident the Dutchman will be back available soon.

Fulham vs Man City score prediction
While Fulham should be very proud of their performances this season, their recent form has been miles away from the high standards they set earlier in the campaign and City will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing them.
The likely absences of Willian and Wilson, alongside Mitrovic, could leave Fulham a little toothless in attack and give City plenty of confidence.
Expect a routine victory for City, who can temporarily claim top spot in the standings with three points here.
