Manchester City, who would have been the real league leaders of the EPL had they played all their games, now have the advantage of knowing what to do. Against Fulham at home, on this Saturday, they will always look for a facile win in any case. A slip-up can be costly at this stage, as Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are jostling with them for the EPL crown.

City has been ousted from practically all other competitions. The positive side is that they can now focus only on the premier league. They have had a couple of hiccups in between. Now, they appear back on track with a 2-0 win over Hull City. They have some tough games coming up in the next few weeks: Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. They would badly want to secure all the three points from games such as this.

Fulham is fighting a battle for survival. The team is at the rock bottom of the table. Against all odds, they won their last week’s match against New Castle at home, which has renewed their hopes of a recovery. A good performance, preferably a draw, will do the team morale a world of good. Their recent record against City – six defeats and four draws in the last 10 matches – will give you an idea about where this match is likely to head to.

Manchester City has a wealth of football stars. Sergio Agüero is a doubtful starter, owing to injury. Still, the Fulham defence will have to cope with Álvaro Negredo, Edin Dzeko, David Silva, Fernandinho and the rest.

Manchester City-Fulham Prediction

Manchester City will fancy their chances at home against the bottom dwellers.
