Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Fulham and Manchester City.

Taarabt again from distance, but he needs to start looking for killer balls as Hart is reading these long shots like a children's book. One with lots of pictures.

Toure scores his ninth PL goal of the season, already his best ever PL return for a campaign (in his 17th PL appearance). His previous best was eight goals in 35 PL matches in his debut season (2010/11).

Hesitation from Senderos inside his own box allows Silva to close down his eventual clearance, but thankfully for the hosts it just floats back into the waiting arms of Stekelenburg.

Fulham are finding it far too easy to get to the City bylines, but the visitors for now are keeping every delivery away from danger.

You just don't want to be giving City those free-kicks with Toure in the side.

GOAL! Superb placement from Yaya Toure leaves Stekelenburg positively stranded - great free-kick and there's our opener. 0-1!

Now City will surely test Stekelenburg with this free-kick inside the 'D', won by Silva. Toure and Dzeko stand over it.

Taarabt has another dig at goal, with Hart safely holding onto this one from distance.

Yaya Toure is lured into fouling Karagounis. That could end up being an intriguing midfield battle.

It takes three to dispossess Silva on his central run towards the box, but Sidwell gets in the vital touch to end the threat. Hughes is a little beaten up from trying to defend against the dangerous winger, though.

Vulnerability on the break aside, this is a respectable start from Fulham against the prolific 2012 league winners.

Straight up the other end and Silva hits the bar! Again it comes down to superb service as Dzeko holds off two defenders to square for the Spaniard who almost finds a luxury finish from 10 out.

Chance for Fulham! Richardson makes a fool of Clichy on the left wing before squaring for Taarabt in the box... who forces a good parry from Hart!

Man City are unbeaten in eight PL matches (winning the last three) against Fulham, since a 3-1 home defeat in April 2009. Clint Dempsey (2) and Dickson Etuhu scored for Fulham, Stephen Ireland for Man City.

Now City are getting control of the ball again, and are doing well to keep it simple to withstand the eager pressure from the home side.

Fulham are settling into this game now. Quick, short passes to rival those early City passages and the Manchester back line is standing off when they saunter forward.

Riise gets beyond Clichy, covering on the right flank today, but his low cross is hacked away.

It's the hosts in fact who have the first half-chance of the match with City struggling to clear the game's first corner before Dejagah's mis-control and an offside Sidwell end the threat.

Kevin Friend has refereed this fixture once before in the PL. It finished 2-2 at Etihad Stadium in October 2009. Joleon Lescott and Martin Petrov scored for Man City, Damien Duff and Clint Dempsey for Fulham.

City, to the surprise of perhaps only a hobo or two in West London, are dominating the early position but Fulham are pressing well with bundles of energy.
