Fulham looked more dangerous in the attacking third and had 15 shots at goal compared to the 7 shots produced by Brentford. However, only 3 of Fulham’s shots were on target.
The draw at Brentford means Fulham have recorded only 1 win from their 7 most recent fixtures in the Premier League.
The victory came at West Ham United but there have been defeats against Newcastle United and Liverpool at home plus Nottingham Forest away.
Fulham have picked up points thanks to draws against Sheffield United away and Crystal Palace at home.
Trends show Fulham have failed to win any of their last 3 home league matches. However, they have scored at least 1 goal in 6 of their 7 most recent Premier League games on home soil.
Manchester City make the trip to London having recorded a comprehensive 5-1 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League last weekend.
Erling Haaland was the star man for the champions and he opened the scoring in the 12th minute and added 2 more goals before half time.
Into the second half and Wolves pulled on back in the 53rd minute but Manchester City scored 2 further goals to win with ease.
The victory over Wolves means Manchester City have won their last 4 games in all competitions.
There have been wins over Brighton and Nottingham Forest away in the Premier League plus a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the semi-final of the FA Cup.
The stats show Manchester City have not been beaten in 41 of their 42 most recent matches in all competitions.
They are undefeated in each of their last 9 away league fixtures and have won 8 of those matches. Both teams have scored in 6 of Manchester City’s last 9 Premier League fixtures on the road.
Team news: Fulham have just one injury concern and Harrison Reed is a doubt having picked up a knock.
Manchester City have no injury or suspension concerns and Pep Guardiola has a full squad from which to choose.
The Manchester City juggernaut is on the move and Fulham have a massive task on their hands to stop them. The hosts could find the back of the net in this game but we predict Manchester City to have too much for Fulham.
We expect the visitors to take maximum points, with over 2.5 goals scored.
