Manchester City vs Fulham: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Manchester City will welcome Fulham to the Etihad Stadium for the round seven fixtures of the English Premier League 2024/25 season on Saturday afternoon. Will Fulham continue their current form and get their first win at the Etihad Stadium since 2009?
Manchester City Preview & Form
Manchester City, in the race for their record-extending fifth consecutive Premier League title, have endured some decent runs, although they have recorded two consecutive league draws. City’s last league game at the weekend ended in a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United. The back-to-back league draws have seen Pep Guardiola’s side relinquish their position at the top of the table to Liverpool over the weekend. Currently, they sit second in the league table, and they are just a point behind leader Liverpool. Pep Guardiola will be hoping his side can bounce back from the league draws and return to their winning streak in this match. The champions are still holding their unbeaten run of 29 top-flight league outings.
Pep Guardiola’s side are coming into this match after defeating Slovan Bratislava 4-0 in the midweek Champions League, and this should boost the Champions’ confidence.
Fulham Preview & Form
Fulham are coming to the Etihad Stadium with an impressive five-match unbeaten run in the league since their opening 1-0 away defeat to Manchester United. The Cottagers made it two consecutive league wins for the first time this season by beating Nottingham Forest last weekend 1-0 courtesy of Raul Jimenez’s penalty in the second half. Fulham currently sit 6th in the league table with 11 points, and they are just two points behind Aston Villa and Chelsea. They have scored eight league goals in the new campaign while conceding five.
Marco Silva’s side has mixed on the road form in the new campaign, as they have recorded one win, one draw, and a loss.
