Fulham v Manchester City: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Fulham v Manchester City betting tips and predictions

Manchester City to win to nil - 5/4

City haven't had too many problems keeping clean sheets during their recent winning run, recording shutouts against Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Brighton in the past month, while Wolves only managed to score once past them last week when they were easily beaten 5-1.

The signs are that City will be bang on form once again at the weekend and, after a free week to prepare for the trip to Craven Cottage, we should expect familiar fireworks from Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland and co.

Fulham's wretched recent record against the champions also points the way of selecting an away win to nil in this clash, as the Cottagers have lost every one of the last 15 meetings between the two sides in all competitions.

Last weekend's dour goalless draw with Brentford was reflective of the fact Marco Silva's side are safe in mid-table, although, with two games to go, they could yet make the top 10.

For that to happen, however, they would need to cause a huge shock this weekend, then beat relegation-threatened Luton on the final day and also hope other results over the next week or so go their way.

It seems unlikely but another campaign in which they have not been seriously involved in the relegation scrap will have been welcomed by Fulham fans, who can bask in the knowledge they will be back amongst the elite again next term.

Beating the very best the division has to offer, though, remains a difficult proposition for Fulham, and City will be expected to demonstrate their superiority over the Londoners once again by winning comfortably.

Over 3.5 Manchester City goals - 2/1

City will be aiming to move back to the top of the table in style with a big victory to put pressure on title rivals Arsenal before they go to Old Trafford on Sunday.

Erling Haaland proved his recent injury worries were behind him with four goals in the 5-1 demolition of Wolves and the Norway international will be after more against the Cottagers as he looks to finish the campaign on a real high.

With Haaland on top form and set to be assisted by the creativity of De Bruyne, Foden and Rodri, four or more away goals looks very possible.

City have scored over three goals in five of their last six league games and should be in the mood to record another big win against the side they hammered 5-1 at home back in September.

Phil Foden to score anytime - 6/4

After recently being named Football Writers’ Player of the Year, Foden can underline his class by getting on the scoresheet at Craven Cottage.

The England international has had an outstanding season, netting 16 league goals and registering eight assists, and he can cause Fulham plenty of problems this weekend.

Foden will want to finish the campaign well, not only to help City, but also to ensure he’s in good shape for the Euros in Germany this summer with England.

The 23-year-old did not manage a goal against Wolves last time out but he did attempt three shots, one of which was on target, and he was in sublime form recently in the 4-0 win at Brighton when he scored twice.
