City welcome Mark Hughes back to the City of Manchester stadium for the first time since his departure just over a year ago. Well I say welcome, I am sure it will not be all that cosy. Either way I am just hoping for another three points at Eastlands for our beloved City as we try to solidify our pre season objective of a Champions League position.
This will not be easy though as Fulham have never been pushovers for us in the past, having last won in 2006 and this one will have the added ingredient of an ex manager coming back to prove a point. Fulhams league form has not been too shabby either going into this game with one defeat in seven which saw them clamber up to mid table, meanwhile Citys league form has dipped a little since being top in January.
That being said City will be lifted by their two previous cup games, both big wins and both with clean sheets.
I would dearly love for Mancini to go with the starting lineup he put out midweek against Aris. This obviously will have to be changed if Kompany doesn’t make the fitness race after damaging his hip. If we see a slick City we may be in store to see us dish out our first Premiership ass whooping. However if we start slow and play cautiously then we may be in for a long day with possibly a negative result.
