Man City's De Jong impressed by Fulham

Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong admits he's a fan of Roy Hodgson's Fulham.

City face the Cottagers today and Holland international De Jong told City's website: "There's no way it will be an easy game. They were quite tough in that cup-tie and they won here in the League last season as well. They will be giving 100 per cent to repeat.

"They are really compact as a team - they defend well and make it really difficult for you to crack their wall. They can play on the counter as well with the strength they have up front. We have to be prepared for that."
