Fulham vs Manchester City predictions: Citizens can ease to victory
- Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 32 games
- Fulham have won just one of their last seven contests
- Recommended bet: Man City to win and over 3.5 goals
The equation is simple for Manchester City — win their last three games against Fulham, Tottenham and West Ham and they will claim an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Fulham are the lowest in the table of Manchester City's remaining opponents and do not come into the game in great form, having failed to win any of their last three fixtures.
City, meanwhile, have characteristically turned on the style in recent weeks and are fresh from a 5-1 mauling of Wolves at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday.
Team news
Harrison Reed could return to the Fulham squad this week, meaning Fulham have no new injury concerns to report.
The same applies to visitors Manchester City with Ederson having recovered from a knock.
The stats
Manchester City have won their last six Premier League games by an aggregate scoreline of 24-5 against Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Luton, Brighton, Nottingham Forest and Wolves.
They are also unbeaten in their last 32 games in all competitions, last losing a game away to Aston Villa in the Premier League in December.
Fulham have won only one of their last seven games in the Premier League, losing three and drawing three.
City's last eight league fixtures have averaged 3.88 goals per game.
Prediction
The Premier League title race is firmly in Manchester City's control and it is hard to envisage them losing control when they face Fulham this weekend.
Arsenal are putting the pressure on at the summit but City could go top on Saturday before the Gunners visit Manchester United on Sunday.
City rarely slip up at this stage of the season and they have been at their irrepressible best lately.
They have reeled off six Premier League wins on the spin, scoring at least four goals in all but one of those contests.
Their 5-1 demolition of Wolves last time out was particularly impressive with Erling Haaland contributing four goals to show he is back to his deadly best.
City have an FA Cup final with Manchester United to look forward to later in May but, having exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals, their full focus is on the Premier League in the coming weeks.
They have a fully-fit squad at their disposal and can once again demonstrate their ruthlessness at Craven Cottage.
Fulham have been a tough nut to crack on home soil at times this season but their recent form has been cause for concern.
They have not won any of their last three matches and have won just one of their last seven games in all competitions.
Beyond a top-half finish, they do not have much left to play for in the Premier League and City should run out comfortable winners as they look to hunt down Arsenal in the title race.
