Head-to-head statistics Man City - Fulham
Manchester City Team Overview
February got off to a rocky start for the Citizens with a frustrating draw against Tottenham (2-2). However, the team picked up momentum, securing two crucial victories. First, they defeated Newcastle (3-1), advancing to the League Cup final, and then overcame Liverpool (2-1).
Thanks to a determined win at Anfield, Pep Guardiola's side stayed in the title race, maintaining a six-point gap behind Arsenal. It was impressive how they turned the match around in the dying minutes. Erling Haaland assisted Bernardo Silva before converting a penalty.

Fulham Team Overview
Not long ago, Fulham were showing intent to compete for European spots, but it now seems like a distant dream. The Cottagers have suffered three losses in their last four Premier League outings, each one more disheartening than the last. Marco Silva's side conceded late goals against Leeds (0-1) and Manchester United (2-3) during stoppage time, and in the previous round, they couldn’t hold off Everton (1-2).
The Whites took the lead thanks to an own goal by Vitaliy Mykolenko but failed to capitalize on it, despite having numerous chances. Once again, they faltered in the closing stages, conceding twice in less than ten minutes. Fulham doubled the Toffees in terms of dangerous opportunities created (4-2) but failed to convert any of them.

Latest news
Manchester City
🎙 "This match is a brilliant advertisement for the Premier League. We were really good in the first half, but after the break, we slowed down. That happens at Anfield. We became more direct, gave up possession, and played too passively. Szoboszlai's strike was excellent, but after that, our team, led by captain Bernardo, went on to achieve what we set out to do," Pep Guardiola remarked on the significant victory.
❌ As for City's injury list, Mateo Kovacic, Josko Gvardiol, Savinho, and Jeremy Doku remain sidelined. According to Guardiola, John Stones has recovered from his thigh injury and should be ready for the game against Fulham.
Fulham
🎙 Marco Silva summed up the encounter with Everton: "We could have settled it by halftime. The score could have been 4-0 or 4-1. At this level, you have to be ruthless. The first half was very good, but the second was terrible. We need to defend with more energy. We only have ourselves to blame for what happened," the Portuguese coach stated.
❌ Sasa Lukic has been sidelined for a while due to a thigh injury, and Tom Cairney was forced to miss the last match because of a calf strain. Both central midfielders will not feature against Manchester City.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
All trends suggest there will be plenty of yellow cards in this match. Fulham's last 9 away games have seen over 2.5 yellow cards, while Manchester City's last 6 matches have featured more than 3.5. For those seeking higher odds, the latter option is recommended. However, we'll play it safe with a bet on over 2.5 yellow cards, based on referee statistics. Paul Tierney, who will officiate the upcoming game, averages 4 cautions per match in the current Premier League season.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Despite a dismal head-to-head record against the Citizens, Marco Silva's side has scored in their last 4 consecutive matches at the Etihad. While their recent performances haven't been stellar, they consistently create chances and rarely leave the pitch without finding the net. Meanwhile, Manchester City's defense seems unstable, even with Ruben Dias back in the lineup. Therefore, it's reasonable to bet on both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
In this aspect of the game, a dominant performance from the hosts is expected. Manchester City have delivered more than 5.5 corners in 7 of their last 8 head-to-head meetings with Fulham, as well as in 9 of their last 10 home Premier League matches. This bet looks like a sure thing.
Editorial Prediction
No matter their form, Fulham consistently come up short against the Citizens-it's almost a given at this point. In this scenario, we can't find any compelling reasons to predict an upset. We believe the Cottagers might find the back of the net, but they have little hope of taking anything from the Etihad Stadium. Guardiola's squad has seen significant improvement in terms of player availability, and Erling Haaland has rediscovered his scoring touch. Therefore, our editorial team anticipates a convincing 3-1 victory for the hosts and recommends betting on over 2.5 goals, which has been achieved in eight of the last nine head-to-head encounters between these teams. The match promises to be an exciting one.
