Manchester City supporters want to see Aymeric Laporte return to the starting line-up against Fulham in the Premier League this weekend.
The Spain international was an unused substitute against Arsenal in midweek after playing the full 90 minutes in matches against Leicester City and the FA Cup semi-final versus Sheffield United earlier this month. An unfortunate injury to Nathan Ake appears to have afforded Laporte another opportunity in the first-team after falling out of favour for much of February and March.
Manuel Akanji made way for Laporte versus Leicester, and City fans want that to be the case again as the 28-year-old comes into the side at left-back. On the other side, Kyle Walker remains flanking Ruben Dias and John Stones in the middle as Ederson continues in goal at Craven Cottage.

In midfield, Kevin De Bruyne has the opportunity to continue his fine form on the back of scoring twice against Arsenal. Alongside the Belgium international, Ilkay Gundogan and Rodri complete what has become Guardiola's preferred trio in the middle.
Further forward, Erling Haaland should start for the first time against Fulham after only featuring as a substitute in the reverse fixture, albeit scoring the winning goal with a last-minute penalty off the bench. Jack Grealish also keeps his place on the left wing.
Fresh from last weekend's hat-trick, Riyad Mahrez replaces Bernardo Silva.
City fans XI: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Laporte; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Haaland, Grealish
