Fulham vs Manchester City Predictions

Manchester City are edging ever closer to another Premier League title. With three games remaining, Pep Guardiola’s side have the luxury of knowing their fate is in their own hands.

This is despite City being second in the table ahead of the weekend. Arsenal are one point ahead of the defending champions as it stands, but have played a game more.

That means wins over Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United would be enough for City to win their fourth consecutive title.

That would set a new record in English top-flight history. So far, no club has managed to stay at the top for four consecutive seasons. Not for the first time under Guardiola, City can break new ground.

The bookmakers’ favorites barely skipped a beat last time out. Hours after Arsenal beat Bournemouth 3-0 to open up a four-point lead at the top, City cruised to a 5-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

This weekend, Guardiola’s team play first. In theory, that offers an advantage. A win in west London would see them go top and put the pressure on Arsenal ahead of their trip to Manchester United on Sunday.

Indeed, this may be yet another decisive weekend in the title race. A slip for either side would give the other the edge.

On paper, a trip to Old Trafford looks more difficult than a visit to Craven Cottage. However, although Manchester United are capable of raising their level of play, they are in a difficult situation right now. Fulham have actually collected more points than the Red Devils in the last three months.

Even so, it’s hard to see City slipping up here. Guardiola’s side can go top on Saturday. Then it will be up to Arsenal to respond.

Fulham vs Manchester City betting tips

Manchester City will be looking to do their bit against Fulham in the first leg on Saturday.

Manchester City to Win and Both Teams to Score – 11/8 (Betfred)

Fulham achieved their main goal for the season by staying in the Premier League. To Marco Silva’s credit, his side have barely been troubled by the bottom three since the big kick-off last August.

Currently 13th in the table, Fulham are unlikely to finish in the top half. They will still be looking to finish as high as possible, but it’s fair to say that the Cottagers have shown signs of being ‘on the beach’ of late.

A side with just one win in their last seven games will struggle to stop Manchester City, but Fulham have scored in six of their last seven at Craven Cottage.

City, meanwhile, have conceded in four of their last six Premier League games. We like the look of goals at both ends on Saturday, so combine that with an away win in the capital.

Manchester City to score in both halves – 4/6 (bet365)

With Erling Haaland now looking back at his sharpest (more on that below), Manchester City’s attack just got even scarier.

There is an abundance of quality available to Guardiola in the forward areas, with the likes of Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden more than capable of contributing goals.

And if the City boss opts to ring the changes before or during the clash with Fulham, Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku are waiting in the wings.

Whatever XI Guardiola puts out this weekend will cause Fulham defensive problems. In the reverse fixture of the first half of the campaign, City smashed five goals against Silva’s side.

The champions have an added incentive: with a goal difference ground to make up on Arsenal, every strike helps City’s cause. That means bad for their opponents.

Erling Haaland to score anytime – 3/5 (Betfred)

It’s not unfair to say that Haaland hasn’t been at his best in 2024. There has been criticism of his overall play in recent weeks, with the Norway international even going three games without a goal – a rather dry spell for a player with his track record.

Last time out, Haaland was back doing what he does best. A four-goal haul helped Manchester City past Wolves and put the striker in a strong position in the race for the Golden Shoe.

Fulham will now have to face a more confident Haaland, who must have been delighted to get back on track in such emphatic fashion.

With nothing to play for, it will be difficult for the Cottagers to defend with the same intensity as at the start of the campaign. Haaland has all the tools to take full advantage.
