City V Fulham: Player Ratings

So long International break and hello real, meaningful football. The Premier League continued this weekend, with Manchester City hosting newly promoted Fulham. In the preview I had spoken about the potential for a return to the starting lineup for both Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling. And so it proved to be, with it not taking long for each to make a mark. I will talk more about the interesting take aways I got from the game in a later article, for now though I only wish to focus on the player ratings from the game.

Predicted Lineup To Face Fulham

The Premier League restarts on Saturday with Manchester City looking to close the gap on the three teams above. Heading into the International break in fourth position, the undefeated statistic was sidelined for the struggling performances.

A draw away to Wolves, at least on the home sides performance, might not be such a bad result in the long run. More concerns for me actually came against Newcastle when, at home, we took the lead but failed to close the game out. Yes we got the result, but it was so much more difficult than it had to be and, unlike Wolves, I don't think it was much to do with a tough opposition!

Cityzens Host Cottagers As EPL Restarts

The Premier League restarts this weekend, and not a moment too soon. I am not really into the International scene, World Cups are fine, but I really don't look forward to games taking place at the expense of the good old EPL!

Manchester City welcome Fulham to the Etihad for the 3pm (BST) kick off, and a chance for City to kick on in the defence of their title. Fulham, recently returning to the Premier League after their relegation in 2014. So far it hasn't been too bad, defeated away to Spurs as you might expect, but picking up a decent win against Burnley.
