Fulham vs Manchester City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Follow live coverage as Fulham face Manchester City in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Fulham vs Manchester City
City make it eight Premier League wins in a row to go top of the table! This was a fairly routine win for Guardiola's men in the end. Fulham briefly equalised after Haaland's early penalty, but Alvarez restored the champions' lead before half-time and they never looked like letting it slip again.
Fulham vs Manchester City
City force Robinson into conceding one last corner down their right. They take it short, and that's that!
Fulham vs Manchester City
Grealish sarcastically claps after he is rewarded for Lukic's foul on him. Like all the best teams, City know how to get what they want.

Ederson's booked for taking his sweet time over a goal-kick. City protest, but they know what they're doing.
