Manchester City will be looking to remain the only side in the Premier League with a 100% record as they host Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
After a late scare, Rodri fired home to secure a 2-1 win for City against Sheffield United in the last outing, meaning Pep Guardiola's side are the only team left yet to drop a point in the Premier League after both Brighton and Arsenal failed to win.

We predict that City could set up in a 4-3-3 formation with their line-up as follows: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol; Rodri, Kovacic, Silva; Alvarez, Haaland, Grealish.
We predict that the Cottagers could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with their line-up as follows: Leno; Tete, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Lukic, Reed; Wilson, Pereira, Cordova-Reid; Jiminez.
