Where grooming and sartorial style are concerned, Pep Guardiola says he is willing to offer Scott Parker a draw. He will presumably not be as accommodating on Saturday although, on the back of a tremendous win at Anfield and six days off, Fulham should not be taken lightly. Parker’s side have achieved a formidably consistent level of performance and, should they deal another bloody nose here, could finally escape the bottom three. Given Manchester City put five past Southampton in midweek while largely below par, though, it would still take some effort. Nick Ames
