Unfortunately for Jol Kieran Richardson, Ashkan Dejagah and Philippe Senderos all trained the week but questions regarding their fitness remain and they will not be featured in today's match.
For defending champions Manchester City they will be glad that midfielder Samir Nasri has recovered from a hamstring injury and will be able to play at Fulham.
The French international was substituted in the first half at Real Madrid back on September 18 and remained out last weekend when his club drew Arsenal at home as well during the midweek League Cup loss to Aston Villa.
Club manager Roberto Mancini will welcome Nasri back to the pitch, but will miss the likes of Jack Rodwell who will miss today's match after injuring his groin during the pre-match warm-ups before the Aston Villa match. Right-back Micah Richards did participate in training this week, but doubts surrounding his fitness will keep him outside the touch line today.
City will have to defend smartly given that Fulham are tied for the top scoring spot in the league and have remained unbeaten at home since March, but City has not lost at Craven Cottage since 2005.
