Fulham host Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Cottagers are searching for their first win of the season and lie bottom of the table at kick-off. Palace have enjoyed a better campaign thus far but will want to bounce back after the draw against rivals Brighton next time out.
Follow all the latest action below following the conclusion of West Ham vs Manchester City:
Here’s what we’ve got to look forward to later today:
Much was made of Guardiola’s tactical setup against Arsenal. Raheem Sterling repeatedly dropped deep into midfield, while Joao Cancelo drifted in from right-back and Bernardo Silva, at times, acted as a holding midfielder.
The City coach has never been one for the conventional approach, so it’ll be interesting to see if anything stands out today.
West Ham are unchanged after their late heroics against Spurs, so that means Manuel Lanzini is on the bench again despite his injury-time screamer.
City also name the same starting XI from the midweek win over Porto, although the big news is that Kevin De Bruyne is back on the bench.
A reminder, if you need it, of what happened in last weekend’s London derby:

Manchester City travel to West Ham in the first game of another busy day of Premier League football.
David Moyes’ side will hope to build on the momentum from their remarkable 3-3 draw against Spurs last time out. They’ll also benefit from a week off, while City were in Champions League action.
Still, Pep Guardiola’s visitors will be favourites, having impressed against Arsenal last weekend and dispatched Porto on Wednesday night.
Kick off is at 12.30pm and we’ll have team news shortly…
