Struggling Fulham take on Manchester City on Saturday as they continue their attempts to get out of the Premier League's relegation zone.

The Cottagers have lost six of their last seven in the league, although they have shown signs of improvement under new head coach Rene Meulensteen.

City are on an excellent run of form, which has seen them take 13 points from a possible 15, including a 6-3 victory over Arsenal last weekend.

Meulensteen remains without his injured captain Brede Hangeland and Hugo Rodallega, but Fernando Amorebieta is pushing for a return to the squad.

For Manchester City, Sergio Aguero is out and Pablo Zabaleta is a strong doubt for the trip to London, with those two players Manuel Pellegrini's main concerns.
