OURSELVES City head into this game off the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat at home to Fulham in the Emirates FA Cup Third Round after Harry Wilson's crossed found the back of the net and clinched the tie in the first-half of extra time. Nigel Pearson will want to see his side show the same levels of quality and commitment that were on display against the Lilywhites again on Saturday, as they look to claim another victory at Craven Cottage which has been a fruitful away day in recent seasons. Andreas Weimann will be keen to continue his excellent goalscoring form after netting a hat-trick in City's last SkyBet Championship game against Millwall at Ashton Gate, taking his goal tally up to 12. OUR OPPONENTS After travelling to Ashton Gate last weekend and coming away with a 1-0 win courtesy of an extra-time winner from Harry Wilson and emphatically dismantling Reading 7-0 in midweek, Fulham come into this game full of confidence. Marco Silva will be keen to see his side claim all three points against the Robins as Fulham aim to claim top spot in SkyBet Championship. With 30 goal involvements already this season, Aleksandar Mitrović will be confident he can continue his fine form and score against City again, after netting at Ashton Gate in the reverse fixture when the two sides drew 1-1. Harry Wilson is also in a purple patch of form after scoring and assisting twice in Fulham's rout of Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

Too simple for Fulham to level. Shocking marking and the only thing going to happen was a goal for them. 1-1.
Fabulous again by Semenyo as he adds our second. We were taking heavy flak when we broke away and broke their net. Come on City keep this up and take the reins and not allow them to pressure.
Bo**cks we go to sleep for 10 seconds and let them score. How apathetic was that to ruin the good work done by Antoine?
