Manchester City looking to extend 16-game winning run over Fulham.
After a dominant Champions League win, Manchester City aims to extend their historic unbeaten stretch against Fulham in a crucial Premier League clash before the international break.
Manchester City
After a disappointing 1-1 draw with Inter Milan on UCL Match Day 1, Manchester City were determined not to have another European outing without maximum points. They dismantled Slovan Bratislava with a 4-0 win on Tuesday night, moving up to 8th place on the UCL league phase table.
The Sky Blues will aim to carry their ruthless form back to the Premier League as they face Fulham this weekend, following last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle United. This draw cost City their top spot on the table to Liverpool, leaving them one point behind, with 14 points from 4 wins, 2 draws, and no losses.
A clash against Fulham ahead of the international break is seen as timely, with Manchester City hoping to secure a win before the break. They have won each of their last 16 meetings with Fulham in all competitions and are looking to extend this historic winning streak to 17 games against the Cottagers this weekend.
The team might once again line up in a 3—4—2—1 formation, featuring Erling Haaland, who found the net in the 4-0 victory over Bratislava. However, Kevin De Bruyne is doubtful for the fixture due to a groin injury.
Fulham
Meanwhile, after a slow start to the season, Fulham appear to be finding their feet. The Cottagers picked up back-to-back victories for the first time this season after last weekend’s 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest. The victory follows a 3-1 win over Newcastle.
The Cottagers now have 11 points and sit in 6th place on the Premier League table. With fresher legs, having played no part in the midweek round of fixtures, an unlikely win over City could see Fulham climb a few places up the table.
However, Fulham are winless in their last 18 games away to Manchester City in the league, losing each of the last 13 in a row. Marco Silva, nominated for the 'Manager of the Month Award', may deploy a 4—2—3—1 with Raúl Jiménez in attack.
Jiménez has scored in three successive Premier League games and could do so for a fourth time after being nominated for the Player of the Month Award. He will be a key player to watch as Fulham aim to continue their upward trajectory.
