Fulham Predictions: Predicted Fulham XI vs Manchester City

Fulham’s season can best be described as a chaotic disaster that has barely managed to make it this far into the season without a complete collapse of power. Their most recent defeat came against Liverpool as they were beaten 2-1 at Craven Cottage.

Their next obstacle will be even harder to cross as they are set to welcome Manchester City who will be looking to maintain the pace at the top of the table. With Scott Parker now in charge at Fulham, it’ll be interesting to see how this game pans out.

Team News

Alfie Mawson’s progress in his return from a knee injury has been gradual but assured and he’s expected to come back into first-team action towards the final weeks of April. Marcus Bettinelli is another casualty of knee problems and he is also ruled out of this tie.

Andre Schurrle missed the defeat against Liverpool due to a virus and he is expected to return in this tie. With Tim Ream and Jean Michael Seri both coming back late from international duty, their availability will be confirmed post assessments.

Predicted Fulham XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Manager: Scott Parker

GK – Sergio Rico

The Spaniard has impressed heavily since making the switch to London and is expected to keep his place for this tie.

RB – Timothy Fosu-Mensah

The Manchester United loanee has been utilised in the wing-back role before and is expected to start in that same position.

RCB – Calum Chambers

The Arsenal loanee has been a revelation for Fulham this season and has even been excellent operating out of midfield.

LCB – Tim Ream

Although he is going to be subject to a late medical test considering his late return from international duty, he should be ready to start.

LB – Joe Bryan

The 25-year-old provides amazing width while going forward and is also a very mature and composed defenders in his box.

CM – Tom Cairney

The talented Englishman has burst onto the Premier League scene this season and has even gone on to Captain this Fulham.

CM – Andre Zambo Anguissa

The youngster is amazingly talented and the price that Fulham paid for him will pay dividends in the years to come.

CM – Jean Michael Seri

The Ivorian midfielder was subject to a lot of transfer speculation but his displays for Fulham this season haven’t warranted that.

LW – Floyd Ayite

With Scott Parker now at the helm, Ayite could have a more important part to play as his pace and experience will be key.

CF – Aleksandar Mitrovic

If there was one time when Mitrovic had to step up and carry his side, then it’s now and with Fulham on the verge of relegation, he must step up.

RW – Ryan Babel

The former Liverpool man has brought a spark to the Cottagers attack since coming in and has done a fairly decent job.
