Fulham's Timothy Castagne underwent ankle surgery earlier this month and the defender is joined in the treatment room by Rodrigo Muniz, Harrison Reed (both calf) and Reiss Nelson (thigh).

Cairney, who is out of contract in the summer and has been linked with Wrexham, may play his final game for the Cottagers after a decade at the club. The 34-year-old will be pushing to start in midfielder, potentially at the expense of Emile Smith Rowe, while Wilson will also hope to earn a recall on either flank.

Top scorer Raul Jimenez is expected to continue up front; all 12 of the Mexican's Premier League goals this season have either put Fulham ahead (nine) or drawn them level (three) in a match, while he is looking to score in three consecutive PL games for the third time in his career, previously doing so in November 2019 and September 2024.

As for Man City, Mateo Kovacic is suspended after being sent off for a last-man foul in the midweek win over Bournemouth, while John Stones remains sidelined with a thigh injury. Both Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb are fit and available for selection, though.

Ballon d'Or winner Rodri made his long-awaited return from injury against Bournemouth, coming on as a late substitute after eight months out with an ACL injury. The Spaniard is available for selection once again, but Guardiola has confirmed that he will not start on Sunday.

Either Nico Gonzalez or Bernardo Silva could therefore take the place of Kovacic and play alongside Ilkay Gundogan in centre-midfield, while De Bruyne is in line to start as captain in his 422nd and final appearance for Man City.

If Bernardo is chosen to start in a deeper midfield role, then either Phil Foden - who has been struggling with an ankle issue and has been left out of the England squad - Savinho or Jeremy Doku could be recalled to start on the right flank.

Fulham possible starting lineup:

Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Wilson, Cairney, Iwobi; Jimenez

Manchester City possible starting lineup:

Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Bernardo, Gundogan; Savinho, De Bruyne, Marmoush; Haaland
