Match preview
Looking to extend their winning streak at the Etihad Stadium to 15 games in all competitions, Manchester City host Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Cityzens are currently second in the table and two points behind leaders Arsenal, while the Cottagers fly high in seventh, five points behind the top four.
After a slow 1-0 away win over Leicester City last weekend thanks to Kevin De Bruyne’s superb free-kick, City ended their Champions League group stage campaign with a 3-1 success at home against Sevilla yesterday.
Guardiola’s men have enjoyed an impressive 14-game winning streak at home in all competitions – scoring at least three goals in all but one of them – and they are unbeaten in their last 18 outings at home since the score 3-2 lost to Tottenham Hotspur in February.
Fulham on the other hand failed to get their third straight Premier League win last weekend when they were forced to a goalless draw at home to Everton.
However, after winning the Championship title last season, Fulham fans will be delighted to see their side sit seventh in the Premier League table, eight points above the relegation zone and ahead of Liverpool, West Ham United, Brighton & Hove Albion and Leicester City who finished last season in the top half.
Fulham have picked up more points this season (19) in 13 games than they have won at this stage of the 2018-19 (eight) and 2020-21 (nine) campaigns.
City have scored 10 goals at home against two newly promoted sides this season, beating Bournemouth 4-0 and Nottingham Forest 6-0 in August. They will be more confident going into this match of success against Fulham.
