Premier League title hopefuls Manchester City welcome Fulham to The Etihad on Wednesday evening.
Pep Guardiola’s side currently sit second in the top flight table, six points behind leaders Arsenal.
The Citizens won the top flight four six times in seven years between 2018 and 2024, including four consecutive titles, but missed out last term as Liverpool came out on top.
Guardiola will be desperate to see his side regain the trophy, but the Gunners’ advantage at the top of the standings makes the north London outfit strong favourites to win the title.
Away from the action, it has emerged that one of City’s most experienced players could leave the club this summer.
According to CaughtOffside, defender John Stones is increasingly likely to depart The Etihad when his contract with Manchester City at the end of the current campaign.
The 31-year-old centre-back joined City from Everton back in 2016 and, after some early struggles, quickly established himself as a key player for the Manchester outfit.

He has now played 290 times for the club across all competitions and was widely regarded as one of the best central defenders in Europe for several years.
More recently, though, the England international has struggled with injuries, including thigh, foot, and hamstring problems.
So far this term the Englishman has made 13 appearances across all competitions, including seven Premier League games, although he has only started four league games.
Stones’ current contract with the Citizens is set to expire at the end of the season, though, and the report suggests that the club are unlikely to offer him an extension.
German champions Bayern Munich are said to have already started working on a possible deal to sign the defender this summer, while Serie A giants AC Milan and Spanish side Atletico Madrid are also credited with an interest in the former Barnsley man.
