Sky Live: Fulham vs Man City: Pep Guardiola's men can make lunchtime move back to top

Manchester City can return to the top of the Premier League - for 24 hours at least - with victory over Fulham, live on Sky Sports.

City are two points back of Liverpool in the table, with a game in hand, and have a chance to turn up the pressure on Jurgen Klopp's men ahead of their clash with Tottenham at Anfield, live on Super Sunday.

Pep Guardiola's squad will be bolstered by the return of Kevin de Bruyne, Fernandinho, John Stones, Benjamin Mendy, Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi at Craven Cottage.

Utility man Fabian Delph and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo are the only absentees for the champions.

Fulham have just seven games to save their Premier League status, which is now precarious. They sit 13 points from safety after losing their last seven matches.

Merson's prediction

This is a nice game for City, they can throw the pressure on Liverpool before they play. I'm a great believer of playing first, you always want to take the first shot. I can't see anything but a win for Pep Guardiola's side, it would be a miracle if Fulham got a result. I just hope Fulham continue doing well under Scott Parker and he gets the job because they have improved under him.
