City are looking to continue our unbeaten run when we welcome Marco Silva’s side to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday 2 September, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 (UK).
Assistant manager Juanma Lillo will lead the team for a second time with Pep Guardiola still recovering from a routine operation on a back problem.
Fulham travel to Manchester following a penalty shoot-out triumph over Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup second round on Tuesday evening.
City have had a full week to prepare for the arrival of Fulham, having taken to the City Football Academy training pitches midweek following our 2-1 win over newly promoted Sheffield United in the Premier League last Sunday.
Fulham – who currently sit 12th with four points – could move into the top half of the table if they pick up their second away win of the season.
Or a win for City could extend our lead at the top of the table as the only team yet to drop any points this campaign before the September international break.
