Manchester City, Recent FormManchester City have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-1 away win against Sheffield United in their previous league match. During that encounter they had 80% possession and had 30 attempts on goal with 9 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 6 shots on goal.
Manager Pep Guardiola will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 8 goals. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 34 games in a row.
They are showing impressive form at home with a run of 11 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten at The Etihad Stadium in 12 league games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Manchester City, Erling Haaland will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Fulham, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Arsenal will be viewed as a positive outcome for Fulham and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 29% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Arsenal's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
On an individual basis, Carlos Vinícius will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Fulham's last 6 league games.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Fulham who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-2 to Manchester City.
Goals should be on the cards for Man City in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against The Cottagers in their last 26 meetings together. In their past 5 meetings, The Citizens' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Fulham will have to take their chances when they come.
Undefeated in their last 16 league encounters against Fulham, Man City have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning the last 11 times in a row.
Man City manager Pep Guardiola has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kevin De Bruyne (Hamstring), Jérémy Doku (Thigh), Bernardo Silva (Illness), Zack Steffen (Knee surgery) and John Stones (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Fulham manager Marco Silva ahead of this clash, with Willian Borges da Silva (Unknown) missing out, which gives Silva a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
