Fulham come into the match on the back of a 1-0 loss at Aston Villa in the Premier League on Tuesday night. The only goal of the game was scored in the 21st minute and put an end to any realistic hope of Fulham qualifying for European football next season.
The loss at Aston Villa was the first defeat in 3 matches for Fulham. They enjoyed wins over Everton away and Leeds United at home in the Premier League but they are the only 2 victories for Fulham in their 8 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
There have been 6 defeats in those 8 matches, with 5 of them coming in the Premier League against Arsenal and West Ham United at home plus Brentford, Bournemouth, and Aston Villa away.
In terms of home form in the Premier League, Fulham have won only 1 of their last 4 games. They have been struggling to keep clean sheets when playing at home in the league and have conceded goals in 8 of their last 9 home Premier League fixtures.
Manchester City travel south to Craven Cottage having beat title rivals Arsenal 4-1 at home in the Premier League on Wednesday night. It was a tremendous performance by the defending champions and they dominated their opponents.
Manchester City opened the scoring in the 7th minute and added a second goal on the stroke of half time. Pep Guardiola’s team scored their third in the 54th minute and despite conceding in the 86th minute, scored again at the end of the match.
The win over Arsenal means Manchester City are undefeated in their last 17 fixtures in all competitions. They have won each of their last 7 Premier League matches and are undefeated in their last 10 Premier League games.
Away form in the Premier League shows Manchester City are undefeated in their 5 most recent away trips. Manchester City have seen both teams score in 4 of their last 5 away Premier League matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and Fulham continue without suspended striker Aleksandar Mitrovic. They also have doubts over defender Layvin Kurzawa.
Manchester City are without injured defender Nathan Aké who has a hamstring issue. He is the only player unavailable for the visitors.
Given their current form, Manchester City must be favourites to win this game. However, they have been conceding goals on the road and Fulham could find the back of the net in this match. So, we expect Manchester City to come out on top, with both teams scoring.
