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, securing their second consecutive Premier League victory. They first defeated Sunderland at home (1-0) and last weekend overcame local rivals Tottenham away (2-1). This marks only the second time since March that Marco Silva's side has won back-to-back league matches. The team has climbed to 15th place in the standings, now six points clear of the relegation zone.
- The club's uncompromising streak in the Premier League stands at 11 matches – 5 wins and 6 losses.
- Fulham has avoided defeat in 5 of their last 6 home Premier League matches (4 wins and 1 draw).
- No more than three goals have been scored in 6 of Fulham's last 7 home league games.
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 Antonee 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 3 points in injury time. It was their 6th win in the last 8 league games (with 2 losses). Pep Guardiola's side remains in the top four, but they have already suffered 4 defeats. The same number of losses were recorded at this stage last season, but then they were in 5th place.
- At least three goals have been scored in City's last 4 Premier League matches.
- Manchester City has only 1 win in their last 5 away league games (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 win over modest Leeds. There is a possibility that the club might face another crisis, similar to last season at this time. I believe that the match at Craven Cottage will be challenging for City, requiring maximum effort to secure 3 points, especially since Fulham has only lost to Arsenal at home this season.
I expect a high-scoring game. Fulham has scored in 9 of their last 11 home Premier League matches, although 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 but conceded in 4 of the last 5. Additionally, both teams scored in 5 of the last 7 head-to-head league meetings.
My prediction – Both teams to score – Yes
