The Matchday 14 Premier League clash between Fulham and Manchester City will take place on December 2 at Craven Cottage in London. Fulham vs. Manchester City: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Fulham
The Londoners are gradually finding their form, having secured their second consecutive victory in the Premier League. First, they defeated Sunderland at home (1-0), and last weekend, they triumphed away against local rivals Tottenham (2-1). This marks only the second time since March this year that Marco Silva's side has won two consecutive league matches. The team has climbed to 15th place in the standings, now six points clear of the relegation zone.
- The club's uncompromising run in the Premier League stands at 11 matches – 5 wins and 6 losses.
- Fulham has not lost in 5 of their last 6 home matches in the Premier League (4 wins and 1 draw).
- No more than three goals have been scored in 6 of Fulham's last 7 home games in the league.
Predicted lineup for Fulham (4-2-3-1)
Bernd Leno – Ryan Sessegnon, Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey – Joshua King, Sander Berge – Harry Wilson, Samuel Chukwueze, Alex Iwobi – Raul Jimenez.
Defender Anthony Robinson and forward Rodrigo Muniz will miss the match due to injuries.
Manchester City
The Citizens secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Leeds in the last round. This match could have ended in a draw, but the team managed to snatch all three points in stoppage time. It was their 6th win in the last 8 league matches (with 2 losses). Pep Guardiola's side remains in the top four, but the club already has 4 defeats. This number of losses was also present at this stage of the league last season, but they were in 5th place then.
- At least three goals have been scored in each of the club's last 4 Premier League matches.
- Manchester City has only 1 win in their last 5 away league matches (1 draw and 3 losses).
- The Citizens have not scored more than 1 goal in their last five away Premier League matches.
Predicted lineup for Manchester City (4-3-3)
Gianluigi Donnarumma – Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Nico O’Reilly – Nico Gonzalez, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden – Jeremy Doku, Tijjani Reijnders, Erling Haaland.
Midfielders Mateo Kovacic and Rodri Hernandez are sidelined due to injuries.

Fulham vs. Manchester City: Match Prediction
Pep Guardiola's side played three official matches in the last ten days of November, suffering two defeats and securing a hard-fought victory over modest Leeds. There is a possibility that the club might find itself in a crisis similar to the one they experienced during this period last season. I believe that Manchester City will face a tough challenge at Craven Cottage, and they will need to exert maximum effort to secure three points. Moreover, Fulham has only lost to Arsenal at home in the current league campaign.
I expect the game to be high-scoring. Fulham has scored in 9 of their last 11 home Premier League matches. However, they have also conceded in 7 of their last 10 home league games. Manchester City has scored in 6 of their last 7 away league matches, while conceding in 4 of their last 5 away Premier League games. Additionally, both teams have scored in 5 of their last 7 head-to-head league encounters.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
