Meanwhile, the Manchester Evening News Paul Clarke tells how three experts support the Blues to keep up the pressure on the title this weekend at Craven Cottage.
Clarke reports: "Technically, City holds the advantage in the Premier League trophy race, two points from the end, with one game less. But given that this match is against Manchester United next month, Liverpool loses even more points is also important.
"The good news this weekend comes in the form of bursts of prognosis: City will strengthen the pressure on Liverpool by overtaking Fulham and returning briefly to first place Saturday afternoon.
"Michael Owen, Mark Lawrenson and Paul Merson all support City to carry it easily. Owen has a win and both teams must score in his BetVictor blog, Lawrenson expects a 3-0 win in his BBC column, while Merson told Sky Sports that he thought Pep Guardiola's men would win a 4- 0.

Not only do the three experts expect the Reds to be successful, Lawrenson and Merson both have the advantage on Klopp's side on the score of 2-1, while Owen said announced that his former player would win and that the Spurs would also score a goal. "
In a fascinating article published on the official website of the Premier League, Adrian Clarke deepens his reflections on the considerable impact of Raheem Sterling since the beginning of the year.
And Clarke reveals how Raheem's effective and devastating use of space on both flanks has helped the English winger raise his game level.
Characteristics
Clarke scribes: "With 13 goals and 5 badists in just 14 starts for the club and the country, all competitions since January 6, the fit striker is now among the main contenders for the EA SPORTS season's player trophy. .
The 24-year-old has shone on both wings for defending champions Pep Guardiola in recent weeks and will be the focus of Fulham's concerns as the Cottagers entertain City on Saturday.
"Since we've been working with Guardiola, the awareness of Sterling's position and his eye for space has become much more refined.
"His progress has been particularly evident in his last four Premier League games when he was deployed on the left side of the Man City attack.
"In the home game against Arsenal, Sterling cleverly used the entire width of the field.
"Aware that the Gunners' right-back, Stephan Lichsteiner, wanted to stay close and cover his central rear in the four-man rearguard, he deliberately squeezed the sideline, creating a ripple effect. huge problems.

'Sterling opened the Unai Emery team with two badists, one of the direct consequences of creating the space allowing him to run to Lichsteiner.
"Breaking his bearings into a false sense of security by staying in the same part of the field before making right-handed sprints in the right back, he also had a devastating impact on Chelsea and Watford.
"Four of the five goals he scored in these two competitions came about because he moved into space inside him at the right time.
"Sterling operated equally devastatingly on the opposite flank, leaping from the right to inspire the breakaway that led the spectacular home win against Leroy Sane against Liverpool.
"He adapted his style to each specified game plan, teasing defenders in a variety of ways.
"He tormented Chelsea's seasoned defender Cesar Azpilicueta with his hypnotic dribble that earned him a penalty and he also cleverly headed to the center forward to claim strikes against the Blues and Huddersfield. .
"Sterling is definitely the best football of his career. And, at 24, there is still much to do for this gifted star. "
In the city
Finally, in a column in the first person of Lancashire evening, Lukas Nmecha – who took out a loan for the season next to the Preston North End Championship, revealed the results he was hoping to get for the rest of the season, both for North End and for City.
Nmecha writes: "It was very difficult to start because I was not used to playing and I had to learn.
"I never had to work as hard as here, in City, it was children's football and I was used to scoring goals.
"Obviously, I would have liked to score more goals here and I hope to be able to score some of them by the end of the season."
"The international break is now over and my goal now is to help Preston participate in the playoffs.
"The times are exciting and the next eight games are huge.
"The locker room is strong, it's a group of guys who cheer each other – if you have a bad match, they will not call you.
"What would be great for me is that Manchester City wins the Premier League title and Preston is promoted.
"It's a double that I would very much like to come!"
