    How Man City haven't scored in the last minute is unbelievable.

    They've had three or four chances and then a massive chance for Kevin De Bruyne to put them 2-0 up.

    The Fulham fans are reflecting what they're seeing with the sarcastic cheers.

    Fulham 0-1 Man City

    Now Kevin De Bruyne pokes a shot away which this time is more easily saved by Sergio Rico.

    Previous to those efforts, the home crowd were ole-ing any passes that Fulham's players managed to string together.

    Never a good sign.

    Ilkay Gundogan is next to test the palms of Sergio Rico, with a firm shot from the edge of the area.

    Could the Spanish keeper have held that?

    City have had eight shots.... wait nine... no... 10 on goal in the first 16 minutes.

    The difference against Manchester City is keeping possession because they are so fast to recover the ball.

    They've won it back so quickly that Fulham are finding it difficult to get out of their own half.

    Man City, when they do turn it over, are so fast at you. These are difficult conditions for Fulham to try and get a result.

    That is also cleared but City are on the attack again and mean business - the sort of business you'd find in Canary Wharf.

    The game is what you would expect in this early period, but Fulham do look nervous and not settled at all.

    They haven't looked like a team that is comfortable.

    Cross or shot?

    Kevin De Bruyne almost catches out Sergio Rico with a delivery from the right which the keeper has to tip over for a corner.

    The corner comes to nothing, but City have another...

    Fulham had a warning from the keeper, he made an error, and Aguero was straight in

    Man City are always on the front foot when the opposition have the ball, and if you make a mistake, they are going to come at you quick.

    A deserved lead already.

    Bernardo Silva

    It was coming since the first second...

    Bernardo Silva does his best impression of Arjen Robben by shuffling across the edge of the area before firing a low effort past the reach of Sergio Rico.

    It could be the case of how many.

    Fulham are playing with a back five which is interesting as they warmed up with a back four.

    Were they trying to lead Pep Guardiola down the garden path?

    Fulham 0-0 Man City

    Ederson has a light bulb moment by thinking he'd rush out of his area to clear a ball intended for Ryan Babel.

    However, he air kicks - thankfully for him the flag goes up for offside.

    He knew it would be, didn't he?

    At the other end, City have a corner.

    Fulham v Man City (12:30 GMT)

    There have been plenty of occasions where Fulham have played relatively well but something has transpired that has meant they have nothing to show for it.

    I am not sure they will get close to causing an upset this time, though.

    Prediction: 0-3

    It was not only the Internationals break that was going on over the past two weeks, it was also the semi-finals of the FA People's Cup.

    From inventive lawnmower celebrations to a back-flick and finish that Messi would have been proud of and guest presenters John Bishop and Adele Roberts, the semi-finals had it all.

    You can watch highlights on the Red Button and Online at 17:30 GMT on Saturday, 30 March (and on the iPlayer afterwards).

    If Scott Parker gets the Fulham job, he'll have come through one heck of an interview.

    His first four games as caretaker manager have been against Chelsea, Leicester, Liverpool, and now Manchester City - the last three Premier League champions plus the possible next ones.

    In truth, he'd have more chance of swimming successfully against the Thames tide than keeping Fulham up, although hopes for this game may be boosted after coming close to holding Liverpool two weeks ago.

    A shot of good fortune is needed, and maybe some travel weariness in the City legs too?

    Oh yes, about that. City's three games this season following internationals: 3-0 v Fulham, 5-0 v Burnley, 4-0 at West Ham.
