Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Fulham

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Fulham.

Manchester City will be aiming to make it four wins from their opening four Premier League matches of the season when they host Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

The Citizens have beaten Burnley, Newcastle United and Sheffield United this term to collect nine points, which has left them top of the table, two points ahead of second-placed West Ham United.

However, Pep Guardiola's side left it late to secure the victory over Sheffield United on Saturday, with Rodri coming up with the winner in the 88th minute of the clash at Bramall Lane.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Fulham, who earned an impressive draw at Arsenal in the league last time out.
