Premier League title challenger Manchester City looks to move to the top of the table with a win over Fulham.
Manchester City can temporarily move back to the top of the Premier League if it beats Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday, with Pep Guardiola’s side still in with a great chance of ending this season with a trophy double. The Citizens are one point off the pace currently being set by Arsenal but boast a game in hand over the Gunners and are faced with a brilliant opportunity to pip Mikel Arteta’s men across the line. Fulham, meanwhile, could in theory move into the top half of the table with a win over City in Saturday’s early kick-off, but its chances appear slim after losing the last 15 straight encounters between these teams.

City’s record against the Cottagers is up there with the most one-sided in England’s top flight at present, with Fulham having gone almost 13 unlucky years without a win in this fixture.
That drought includes defeats in the Premier League, Carabao Cup and FA Cup as the west Londoners have struggled to be competitive against the big guns for more than a decade.
It certainly doesn’t help Fulham’s case that City are motivated by the prospect of a return to the Premier League’s peak, having just come off the back of a 5-1 fleecing of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Erling Haaland was disappointed to be taken off after scoring four in that one-sided walloping, which should all but guarantee this season’s Golden Boot is his:
To put the Norwegian’s prolific 25-goal haul into context, Fulham’s highest scorer—Brazilian Rodrigo Muniz—has scored just nine times in league competition this season.
However, the South American will be looking to end his season on a high by lifting Marco Silva’s side to a first home win since mid-March.
Fulham has come up short against the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle and Crystal Palace in recent weeks, while City is yet to lose an away fixture in any competition thus far in 2024.
