Manchester City vs Fulham in the English Premier League will take place from 10 a.m. ET on Saturday with the Premier League champions looking to gain three points and defend their crown. The game kicks off at 10 a.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream (details below).

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.

On the other side Manchester City will welcome the return of influential midfield playmaker Samir Nasri, who has finally recovered from a hamstring injury. However both Jack Rodwell and defender Micah Richards are out.

Manchester City will be big favorites for today’s game but Fulham are no pushovers. In fact Fulham have lost only one of their last 13 home matches at Craven Cottage, winning 10 of those 13 fixtures.

City will remember last season in this corresponding fixture when Fulham came from two goals down to level and claim the draw. They will be weary not to give anything away today.

Manchester City have gotten off to a mediocre start to the new season, currently lying in 7th place in the English Premier League table, with 9 points from their opening 5 games.

Fulham meanwhile are a place above City in 6th spot, and also have claimed 9 points from their 5 matches.

Fulham fans might ordinarily be optimistic at taking something from any game at home, even against the current Premier League champions. However, without Berbatov those chances are greatly weakened, and he will be sorely missed.
