The reigning Premier League Champions Manchester City will clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage at 10: a.m. ET.
Manchester City arrive at Craven Cottage on the back of a rare home defeat having been tumbled out of the Capital One Cup by Aston Villa whilst also failing to head a table they confidently expected to lead early on.
Captain Vincent Kompany wasn't involved in the mid-week tie, but will be returning when the club travel to London.
However, injuries could force the Italian's hand, with Samir Nasri (hamstring) currently out of action alongside Maicon (foot) and Micah Richards' (ankle). The absences should pave the way for Scott Sinclair and Pablo Zabaleta, who will look to start in midfield and at right-back respectively, while the rest of the team will remain the same.
Fulham's key striker Dimitar Berbatov will miss this match after suffering a thigh problem in training on Thursday and will be a huge loss to the London side.
Fulham will also be missing Kieran Richardson and Philippe Senderos, who reportedly have re-commenced training but are not at match fitness yet and will not be taking part today.
