Fulham had been stuck in their own half for quite a while there, but finally enjoy a sustained spell of possession. The hosts deliver a number of crosses from the right as City struggle to completely clear their lines, but nothing results in an attempt on Ederson's goal.

Bernardo Silva looks to conjure up some magic just outside the area but sees his cross-shot from the right trickle through to Areola. No joy there.
25'
Torres turns down a first-time drive when a left-wing corner is cleared into his path. He takes a touch and then looks devoid of options as he stabs an awkward attempt way off target.

HOME HELL: Fulham’s record at the Cottage is the joint-worst in the division. Parker’s men have only beaten the two sides below them: West Brom and Sheffield United. They are also winless in 24 PL home games v established top-six teams.
20'
Cancelo marauds down the right and surges on to Torres' incisive pass. He wastes little time drilling a low, first-time cross into the area, but Areola does well to gobble it up at his near post with Jesus lurking just beyond him.
18'
The visitors put together a slick move that opens Fulham up but Areola denies Torres with his feet.
16'
City continue to probe. Aguero tries to inject some urgency into an attack but eventually runs into trouble after taking on two on the left side of the Fulham area.
14'
H2H: Fulham have lost 10 straight games v Man City in all competitions and are winless in 16 since a 3-1 Premier League victory at Etihad Stadium in April 2009.
12'
City are beginning to boss it. They've yet to create anything significant though. Fulham remain a very real threat through Lookman et al on the counter.

STAT: Lookman has been directly involved in Fulham's four most recent goals at Craven Cottage, with two goals and two assists.

Fulham have made a lively start but you sense Areola may be the busier of the two keepers come the conclusion of this match. Can he live up to the pre-match billing he got via BT Sport?
4'
CHANCE! Lookman springs the offside trap and charges after Cavaleiro's delightful outside of the foot through ball. The wide man fakes the shot from the right side of the box, but then opts to twist back on to his right foot once again and has his attempt from a tight angle well blocked.

DID YOU KNOW? Guardiola has won all five competitive matches as a manager against Fulham by an aggregate score of 13-0.

No surprise to see City in the mix for the signature of a certain Erling Haaland either.
