In order to keep up the pressure on Arsenal to take the lead, Manchester City will face Fulham on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. at the “Al-Ittihad” stadium in the fifteenth round of the English Premier League.
Manchester City, which is currently ranked second in the Premier League standings with 29 points, is attempting to keep up its winning ways in order to overtake Arsenal, who are currently first with 31 points, before the Gunners take on Chelsea tomorrow, Sunday, in the highly anticipated London derby.
After recovering from the injury he sustained during the match with Borussia Dortmund, City hopes to have its Norwegian star Erling Halland back in the lineup for tonight’s encounter. Halland missed the matches against Leicester City and Seville due to the injury.
Halland’s attitude toward attending a meeting was discussed by Guardiola, who stated, “Eryng Halland will be reviewed at today’s training to find out how ready he is to face Fulham. He returned to go through the exercises, which is fine, but Kyle and the click are not ready.
“Given what they performed in the Championship and in the summer transfer market with a great coach like Marco Silva, I am not shocked by their presence in the advanced positions in the league standings,” he added in reference to Fulham’s confrontation.
The Belgian sensation Kevin de Bruyne scored a clear goal for the City in the previous round against its host Leicester City with a beautiful shot from a direct free kick.
At the same time, Wolverhampton welcomes their counterpart Breton, Nottingham Forest hosts its Bournemouth team, and Leeds United hosts its Bournemouth team.
