Fulham take on Manchester City in the Premier League at Craven Cottage on Tuesday evening.
The Cottagers won 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, recording their first victory on their patch in 12 years and securing their first away win of the season.
Man City left it late to see off Leeds United 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium, after losing a two-goal lead in the clash.
Match preview
Fulham are beginning to regain momentum, picking up nine points from their last six league games.
The hosts will be buoyed by confidence after their victory at Spurs, making this encounter an intriguing one.
Fulham exploited Tottenham’s high line, particularly with the pace of summer signing Samuel Chukwueze, and could look to repeat that tactic against City.
The Cityzens have lost their last two league games on the road, and their defensive lapses will worry manager Pep Guardiola heading into this fixture.
Guardiola must resolve these frailties to prevent an upset against a Fulham side brimming with confidence.
With Arsenal not in action until Wednesday, a Man City win will reduce their lead at the top of the standings to just two points.
Head-to-head
Fulham have lost their last 18 games against City across all competitions and have not beaten them since 2009.
Team news
The home side will be without Antonee Robinson and Rodrigo Muniz, while Rodri and Mateo Kovacic remain sidelined for City.
Key players
Fulham
Samuel Chukwueze: Named Man of the Match versus Spurs, his pace and trickery would be pivotal for the hosts.
Joachim Andersen: The captain has been brilliant at the heart of Fulham’s defence.
Man City
Erling Braut Haaland: The league’s top scorer has six goals in six matches against Fulham.
Phil Foden: Was the match-winner versus Leeds and is now the squad’s second-highest goal scorer.
