Fulham are heading into this match in poor form, having lost three of their last five games and only managed one win. In contrast, Manchester City have been inconsistent themselves, with two losses and two draws in recent outings, though they did pick up a much-needed win last time out. The recent history between these two sides has been packed with goals — in four of the last five meetings, the total score has been three goals or more, including a wild 4-5 win for Fulham and a 3-0 victory for City. This suggests the match could be quite open, with both teams likely to create chances.

Given that Manchester City have the edge in recent form and have beaten Fulham more often than not in their last few encounters, they look like the stronger side here. However, Fulham have shown they can cause problems, especially when goals flow freely. It should be a close and entertaining contest, but Manchester City are the team most likely to come out on top.
