Pep Guardiola’s side went to Craven Cottage looking to extend our unbeaten league run to 21 straight matches.
If we were to collect three precious points we would move to top spot in the table before title rivals Arsenal play Manchester United 24 hours later.
In September’s reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium, an Erling Haaland hat-trick and goals from Julian Alvarez and Nathan Ake helped us to a 5-1 success.
Following the Cottagers promotion to the top flight in 2022, the Blues have won all three meetings between the sides – scoring three goals and conceding three.
But we’d have to be at our very best to extend that strong record against the Cottagers.
How would this one play out?
