Our predictions for Fulham vs Manchester City
Match Prediction: Fulham 1-2 Manchester City
Fulham come into this match with a strong run of form, having secured three wins in their last five games. Their recent victory against Tottenham Hotspur away from home will give them confidence, and they'll be looking to exploit any weaknesses in Manchester City's defence. With Jiménez leading the line and supported by the creative talents of Wilson and Iwobi, Fulham could pose a real threat.
Manchester City, despite a recent loss to Newcastle United, have shown their quality with wins against Leeds United and Liverpool. Their attacking prowess, led by the formidable Erling Haaland, could be the deciding factor in this match. However, their away form has been less consistent, which might give Fulham a chance to cause an upset.
Fulham have been in impressive form recently, winning three out of their last five matches. Their most notable result was a 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur away from home, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure.
