"City travel to west London on Tuesday night for a 19:30 kick-off, knowing victory would narrow the gap at the top of the Premier League to two points, at least temporarily. Fulham arrive in good form after their 2-1 win at Tottenham and have lost only once at home this season, a run Guardiola believes reflects the progress made under Silva."
""Marco has been there many years there and always it has been a really tough game," Guardiola said in his pre-match news conference. "[It will be] difficult. The organisation is exceptional and every year with the ball they're even better. "A tough, tough opponent, I saw their games against Chelsea, Arsenal and Sunderland and always it's so difficult for the opponent to break them up. Always it has been in this beautiful stadium in London." Guardiola confirmed that Rodri will miss the trip and remains unsure whether the midfielder could return in time for Saturday's meeting with Sunderland. He also noted discipline concerns for Bernardo Silva and Gianluigi Donnarumma, who are each one caution away from a suspension."
