Manchester City vs Fulham Preview & Tips


Manchester City are looking to build on their pulsating 2-1 win over Liverpool at the weekend as they kept themselves in the Premier League title race with a stunning late win. 

Fulham are looking to end a run of two consecutive defeats after losing to Everton at the weekend. 

  • City are unbeaten in their last three in the league (W2, D1)
  • Fulham have seen both sides score in their last three league games

Head To Head


City have won their last 10 meetings with Fulham in a dominant run for the former. 

Manchester City Form 


Manchester City kept themselves within six points of Arsenal at the summit with a stunning late salvo that helped to sink Liverpool in a 2-1 win at Anfield. 

Victory extended their unbeaten run in the league to three matches as Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland left it late to drag City to the points. Now, City return to the Etihad Stadium hoping to notch their 10th home win in 13 attempts this season. 

While they have been strangely poor at the back, conceding at least once in five of their last six matches, they have been good going forward, scoring at least once across the same time. While I do not back them to keep a clean sheet against their opponents, I do back them to outscore the visitors. 

Fulham Form 


Fulham arrive at the Etihad Stadium hoping to gain some sort of revenge after barely missing out on taking a point from City as the visitors secured a thrilling 5-4 win back in December. 

The major worry for Fulham as they chase an unlikely result is the fact they have lost their last two league games, while they have only won three times on the road, drawing twice and losing seven matches. 

While Fulham have made a habit out of scoring after hitting the back of the net in 13 of their last 14 league games, they have also been wobbly at the back. Indeed, they have conceded 21 times in 12 away games, and I predict that this record will get worse as City take all three points. 

Verdict

I am backing both sides to find the back of the net in an entertaining clash as City make it consecutive league wins.
