Pep Guardiola is optimistic that Manchester City striker Erling Haaland will be available for Saturday afternoon's game against Fulham at the Etihad.

The destructive frontman has missed Man City's last two games due to a foot injury but "every day he is feeling better", according to his manager.

In Haaland's absence, it was Kevin De Bruyne that stepped up against Leicester last weekend, firing in a superb free-kick to secure a 1-0 victory and serving everyone a reminder of his dazzling talents.

Fulham know well how dangerous Saturday's opponents are as they've lost all of their last 12 games against them – a run that stretches back to 2011.

Marco Silva's side look better equipped to extend their stay in the Premier League beyond just a year than they have in previous seasons and sit seventh after their goalless draw against Everton last weekend.

It's been a hugely impressive start to the season for the West Londoners, but even without Haaland, Saturday's trip to the Etihad looks one of their toughest tests in 2022/23 so far.

Our prediction: Man City v Fulham

It would be a shame to miss out on an Aleksandar Mitrovic/Erling Haaland showdown, but Man City will surely err on the side of caution with their star striker as he returns from injury.

They had enough to get past a spirited Leicester side last weekend and will feel confident of having similar success when they welcome Fulham to the Etihad on Saturday – with or without the Norweigian.

Silva's side have struggled to compete in games against Man City over the past decade or so, and though they're in a great place right now, it's hard to see them putting an end to that long losing run.

Our prediction: Man City 3-1 Fulham (11/1 at bet365)
