Fulham vs Manchester City Predictions

• Fulham have lost six of their last eight matches
• The Cottagers have lost all six clashes with the top four this season
• City have scored at least three times in eight of their last nine matches
• The hosts have lost to nil in two of their last three at home

City’s title surge continues

Man City’s form in recent weeks has been ominous, with the Citizens’ relentless winning run putting them in the driving seat for a treble. Their 4-1 win over Arsenal on Wednesday has all but ended the title race, despite City still sitting second in the table.

The Citizens are two points shy of Arsenal with two games in hand, while the Gunners’ are on a poor run which has seen them go four without a victory. City are now in complete control of the title race and they’d need some extreme slip-ups to allow the title to slip from their grasp now.

City’s seven-game run to the title starts on Sunday, when they head to a Fulham side who have little left to fight for following an impressive return to the top-flight. Having seen the champions roll over the league leaders, they look good for a big win at Craven Cottage.

Fulham fading after a bright year

Fulham have a comfortable cushion in the top half of the Premier League table, but their good season seems to be fizzling out. It’s hard to see Marco Silva’s side pushing City as things stand, especially with Aleksandar Mitrovic still serving a suspension.

Even as Fulham pushed for a European spot, facing off against the top sides was their downfall. The Cottagers have lost all six clashes with the current top four, while they were also knocked out of the FA Cup quarter-finals by Manchester United.

The hosts head into this clash with six defeats in their last eight games and considering their struggles against the league’s top teams, an in-form City side should put on a show.

City to march on

City head into this clash having scored at least three times in each of their last four league games, winning three of those 4-1. Eight of their last nine have seen them score at least three times, which makes them heavy favourites for the points in this trip.

While Erling Haaland is in inspired form, City are getting contributions from across the pitch. John Stones has chipped in with a goal in two of his last four games having taken up a new midfield role. He’s proving a threat from set pieces too, with Fulham proving to be vulnerable from corners. Given Stones’ recent scoring touch, he’s a great option to find the net in this clash, having taken most of his shots this term as a result of set pieces.

Fulham have lost to nil in two of their last three at home, including a heavy 3-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal. Given the form City are in approaching this one, they are worthy favourites and widely expected to produce a comfortable win. Back City to score at least three times, with a 4-0 win my correct score prediction.
