Manchester City vs Fulham Predictions

• Manchester City have won their last 19 meetings with Fulham.
• The Cottagers have scored in 15 of their last 16 matches.

Citizens keep title challenge rolling

Manchester City overcame a huge hurdle in the Premier League title race on Sunday, clinching a last-gasp winner at Anfield to keep pace with league-leaders Arsenal following the Gunners’ hammering of Sunderland.

The Citizens sit six points adrift in the battle for top spot, but they have won four and drawn one of their last five outings and should be able to put another three points on the board against a Fulham side that have suffered a few poor results of late.

Cottagers’ form takes a turn for the worse

The Cottagers lost for the third time in four matches when they played host to Everton on Saturday, with Marco Silva’s side conceding seven goals in this sequence.

They shipped five in a nine-goal thriller in the reverse fixture in December to make it 19 successive defeats against Pep Guardiola’s side, and another pointless evening is expected on Wednesday.

However, Fulham have found the net in 15 of their last 16 ties, including four goals against Manchester City in December. The hosts have conceded in their last three assignments, so expect them to Fulham to bag a consolation.

Reijnders to return with a bang

City have scored exactly twice in four of their last five games and beat Liverpool 2-1 on Sunday. Fulham lost their weekend outing 2-1, so a repeat of that scoreline looks a solid correct score prediction.

Tijjani Reijnders wasn’t involved at Anfield on Sunday, but he scored his seventh goal for Manchester City against Newcastle last week. He has netted in five of his last eight starts for the club and looks a good value goalscorer pick.
