Fulham vs Manchester City

Manchester City are aiming to maintain the pressure on the frontrunners when they travel to Craven Cottage for a midweek English Premier League fixture against Fulham.

The Citizens are looking to build some momentum but face a difficult task against the hosts, who are showing some good form at the moment. Both teams often impress going forward and could be set to serve up goals here.

Fulham News

Fulham head into this clash off the back of a 2-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur in their previous Premier League fixture. They raced to a two-goal lead early in the first half through Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson and were able to hold on for the win despite Spurs pulling one back.

That result is part of a recent good run for Fulham, who are unbeaten in four of their last five matches across all competitions. Marco Silva's team are also unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches at Craven Cottage.

Goals are not a problem for Fulham, who have scored in seven of their last eight home matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in seven of their last nine matches across all competitions, while five of their last eight Premier League fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Manchester City News

Manchester City are also coming off a victory as they earned a 3-2 home win over Leeds United last time out in the Premier League, with Phil Foden netting a brace. That was a timely return to winning ways for Pep Guardiola's team, who had lost their previous two matches.

The task for Manchester City will be to build some momentum as they look to maintain the pressure on leaders Arsenal. However, their away form has been a bit erratic lately, with three wins and two defeats in their last five matches on the road.

The good news for Manchester City is that they still remain one of the best attacks in the league and have scored in the first half in five of their last seven matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last eight matches, while six of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Manchester City boast an impressive record in this fixture and have won the last 12 matches against Fulham. The Citizens picked up a 2-0 away victory on their last visit to Craven Cottage back in May.

Verdict

Fulham v Man City

There are always goals in this fixture, and with Manchester City scoring in the first half in four of the last five away meetings, a repeat could be considered. Eight of the last 10 matches have produced over 2.5 goals, and a similar outcome could be on the cards.

With both teams scoring in five of their last seven meetings, Tuesday's clash is likely to serve up a repeat.
