Man City moved within touching distance of the top of the Premier League standings in midweek, and they could overtake Arsenal at the summit with victory against Fulham this weekend. The hosts will be looking to respond after a midweek defeat against Aston Villa.

Before Betting On Fulham vs Man City

It could be a famous end to the season for Man City, as they could emulate their cross-city rivals by winning a historic treble. Many expect the Premier League title to remain at the Etihad following City’s excellent 4-1 midweek success against Arsenal. The hosts were extremely dominant throughout that fixture, and they could have been further ahead than just 2-0 at the break.

Kevin De Bruyne was mesmeric in that success, as he netted the opening goal. Erling Haaland also scored his 49th goal of the season in all competitions, and could become the first Premier League player in history to hit the 50 mark on Sunday. City has won each of their previous six in the league, and they could move clear at the top of the standings with victories in their two games in hand.

In truth, Fulham has already achieved their goal for the season, as their status in the top-flight is already assured. The Cottagers currently sit ten in the standings, and could move up to ninth with a win against the reigning champions this weekend. However, they have now lost three of their last five matches in the league, with the most recent of those coming in midweek at Villa Park against Aston Villa.

Fulham’s record in this fixture across all competitions is very weak, as they have registered just a single victory in the last 20 meetings. That success was also achieved way back in April 2009. City has won each of the last ten league meetings between the sides, which includes a 3-0 success in this exact fixture in the 2020-21 season.

This looks a big ask for Fulham on Sunday, as City are currently operating at a level that we haven’t seen for 20 years in the Premier League. We expect the traveling side to maintain their dominant winning streak, and we would be hard-pressed to bet against Erling Haaland finding the net.
