Fulham host Manchester City at Craven Cottage looking to pull further clear of the relegation battle, while Pep Guardiola’s side chase vital points in their title pursuit.
Fulham vs Man City Form and Head to Head
Fulham enjoyed a 2-1 win away to Tottenham in their last match. Overall, the Cottagers' form has been patchy, with three wins and three losses in their last six Premier League matches. However, they have shown some resilience at home, where they have strung together consecutive wins.
Man City were victorious in their last match, securing a 3-2 victory at home against Leeds with Phil Foden scoring in injury time. The Citizens' recent form is strong, with four wins and two defeats from their last six matches. One notable fact is that there have been over 2.5 goals scored in City's last four Premier League games, suggesting their matches tend to be high-scoring affairs.
The last time these two teams met, Man City emerged victorious with a 2-0 win at Craven Cottage in May 2025. Historically, Man City have dominated this fixture.
The Citizens have won their last six meetings with Fulham. Their dominance is further highlighted by the fact that Man City have won their last 18 matches against Fulham in all competitions and have scored at least 2 goals in their last 19 matches against Fulham in all competitions.

Fulham vs Man City Match Prediction
Despite Fulham's recent improvement and a desire to win three Premier League matches on the bounce for the first time since December 2022 and January 2023, they face a daunting task against Man City. While Fulham's strengths include creating long shot opportunities and stealing the ball, their weaknesses in finishing scoring chances and aerial duels could be exploited by City.
Man City's strengths in finishing scoring chances, counter-attacks, and creating chances through individual skill, combined with their control of the game in the opposition's half, make them strong favourites. A 3-1 victory for the visitors seems a likely outcome.
Prediction: Fulham 1-3 Man City

Away - Win Market
Manchester City are overwhelming favourites at Craven Cottage, boasting an imperious record against Fulham with 16 consecutive wins across all competitions—a streak dating back to 2011. Fulham have lost their last 15 Premier League meetings with City, an English league record, making an away victory the most statistically secure outcome.
Erling Haaland - Anytime Goalscorer
Despite a recent quiet spell without goals in his last three outings, including a shocking blank against Leeds, Haaland remains the Premier League's most prolific striker with 14 goals in 13 games this season, comfortably leading the Golden Boot race.
Haaland loves playing Fulham, having scored six goals in his six appearances against them, averaging a goal per game. He has netted in every single match he's played at Craven Cottage (three goals in three visits), including penalties and open play strikes.
Phil Foden Over 1.5 Shots On Target:
Phil Foden bagged a brace at the Etihad last week and will seek to replicate that shooting prowess at Craven Cottage. After spending much of the season deployed in a deeper role, his recent shift to an attacking position has yielded results, recording three shots on target against Leeds.
With an average of 2.2 shots per game this season, if Foden maintains that attacking intensity at Fulham, the over 1.5 shots on target bet becomes a strong proposition.
