Premier League title contenders Manchester City will be visiting Fulham in a bid to continue their push for their fourth Premier League crown in five seasons. With only five games left, City finds itself two points behind Arsenal, but have two games in hand. Fulham, on the other hand, sit 10th in the table and will be looking to cause an upset against Pep Guardiola’s side.
Fulham’s form has been inconsistent throughout the season, but the Craven Cottage is usually a tough venue to visit. They have been impressive at home, registering seven wins, four draws and just five losses in 16 appearances this campaign. Manager Marco Silva will be hoping that his side can get a result against the second-placed team.
While Fulham is playing for pride, Manchester City is playing for titles with a treble on the line. The Cityzens are in good form, having won four of their last five games in all competitions. Guardiola’s side has been incredibly consistent throughout the season, going on a 17-game unbeaten run, scoring 53 goals and achieving seven clean sheets in the process.
Manchester City will also have the added benefit of a near-full-strength squad, with only Nathan Ake and Kevin De Bruyne being doubtful for the game. With the depth of quality they possess, City has a variety of attacking options to turn to with Erling Haaland leading the goalscoring charts with 33 goals in the league.
The odds for this fixture are, unsurprisingly, in Manchester City‘s favor. FanDuel, one of the leading sportsbooks, has them as -470 favorites, with Fulham’s chance of winning being priced at +1300. A parlay bet on a City win and over 2.5 goals scored could result in a modest return of -198.
The game will be broadcasted on SiriusXM FC, Telemundo, Telemundo Deportes En Vivo, and USA Network in the United States. Fans can also stream the game via DirecTV Stream, fuboTV, NBC Sports App, NBCSports.com, Peacock Premium, or Sling Blue.
In conclusion, while Fulham cannot be written off, it is hard to look past Manchester City‘s current form and squad depth. Fulham will need to pull out all the stops to get a result against a well-oiled machine, but Guardiola’s side’s aim will be to continue their push for Premier League glory by securing a crucial away win.
