Manchester City back in Premier League title chase as Fulham clash looms.
After a goalless draw against Brentford, Fulham look to break their winless streak as they face title-chasing Manchester City at Craven Cottage in an intriguing early kickoff.
Fulham
Fulham remained in 13th place and without a win in three Premier League games [LWLDD] following last weekend’s goalless draw with Brentford. Despite 15 shots, with three on target, Fulham were unable to convert any of their chances at the Gtech Community Stadium.
With the draw, the Cottagers have 44 points [12W, 8D, & 16L] going into the weekend’s clash against title-chasing Manchester City. A finish inside the upper half of the table remains mathematically possible but highly unlikely, with Fulham sitting four points adrift of 10th-placed Bournemouth [48 points] with two games to go.
With only one win in 15 Premier League home games against Manchester City [1W, 5D, 9L], a weekend win over the Sky Blues appears almost impossible. Furthermore, Fulham have won just one of their last seven Premier League games [1W, 3D, 3L].
“It’s always good to play against the big teams, especially City, who are – for me – the best team in the world,” Willian said in a pre-match press conference. “It’s going to be a difficult one for us, of course, but it’s always a pleasure to play these kinds of games," he added.
A 4—2—3—1 formation with Muniz in attack is expected when Fulham make their final home appearance of the season on Saturday.
Manchester City
Title-chasing Manchester City are only one point adrift of table-topping Arsenal while in 2nd place, having played one game less. The Sky Blues picked Wolves apart in a 5-1 win last time out, with Erling Haaland bagging a haul.
City, with 82 points, will be looking to put Fulham aside as they continue in search of their 4th consecutive Premier League title. The visitors are unbeaten in their last 20 Premier League games, winning the last six in a row.
In addition, Manchester City have won their last 15 meetings with Fulham in all competitions. A 4-2-3-1 formation with Erling Haaland in attack is anticipated from Pep Guardiola, who was shortlisted for the 'Barclays Manager of the Season' award on Thursday.
Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, who is the Premier League’s top scorer with 25 goals, were both nominated for the dual categories of Premier League 'Player of the Season' and 'Young Player of the Season' awards.
