Manchester City vs Fulham Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Cityzens are on the heels of Liverpool at the moment.

English Premier League giants Manchester City are set to host Fulham for their seventh league tie next. Both sides are faring fine in the ongoing season, and are currently in the top six of the points table.

City, the defending champions of EPL are going strong like always under their legendary coach Pep Guardiola. Besides Arsenal, they are the only unbeaten side in the league so far. They drew their last two games, after winning four in a row, and will now be desperate to come back to the tally of winning three points per game.

Fulham are also striking above expectations. They lost only one game in their six, winning three and drawing two. The Cottagers under Marco Silva look like a squad to reckon with. With their current form, they will be looking to shock the invincible Man City.

Players to Watch:

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

Haaland is in his prime form like always. He already has 10 goals in the league and will look to increase his tally in this one. The Norweigan is the main man upfront and will have the duty to extend the lead whenever given a chance. He has scored a minimum of a goal in every game except for the last one and will look to net one here too.

Sasa Lukic (Fulham)

The 28-year-old midfielder has started in every game for Fulham in the ongoing EPL. He has fared well and has not been reluctant to take yellows. Playing as a defensive midfielder, he will have to bear major responsibilities of disposing of threats from the star-studded forwards and attacking midfielders of Manchester City.
