Fulham winger Wllian has hailed Manchester City as \u2018the best team in the world\u2019 and has warned his side they will need to be \u2018perfect\u2019 in order to cause an upset on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s relentless winning machine are just three victories away from an unprecedented fourth Premier League title in succession. <\/p>\n

And while their reign as European champions ended last month following a penalty shootout defeat against Real Madrid, City are still widely regarded as the team to beat, both at home and abroad. <\/p>\n

One of Willian\u2019s former teams, Arsenal, will be watching events at Craven Cottage tomorrow with interest, however, as any slip from City could see the Gunners regain control of the title race.<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s hopes of their London neighbours causing a shock were hardly raised in midweek, when footage emerged of Fulham\u2019s players flying kites at their Motspur Park training ground. <\/p>\n

Veteran winger Willian is adamant that his side will be taking his side\u2019s final home game of an impressive campaign seriously and are determined to end the season on a high.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018It\u2019s always good to play against the big teams, especially City who are \u2013 for me \u2013 the best team in the world,\u2019 he said. \u2018It\u2019s going to be a difficult one for us, of course, but it\u2019s always a pleasure to play these kinds of games, for sure.<\/p>\n

\u2018To beat them, you need to be perfect. In every moment of the game, in every aspect of the game. If you sleep for five seconds, they can kill us. I think it will be a great game to play.<\/p>\n

\u2018We respect them a lot, as I said they\u2019re the best team in the world, but we cannot be afraid to play against them. We need to go there Saturday and try our best to win the game.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have examples \u2013 we played against two big teams and beat them at home. And now we have another opportunity to do the same.<\/p>\n
