Manchester City kept their Premier League title hopes alive in dramatic fashion last weekend, coming from behind to secure a crucial 2-1 victory away at Anfield.

That result not only extended Pep Guardiola’s side’s unbeaten run across all competitions to five matches, but also ensured they remain within touching distance of leaders Arsenal, who sit six points clear at the summit. 

With momentum slowly building again, City will be hoping that win on Merseyside can be the catalyst for a sustained run as they welcome Fulham to the Etihad Stadium.

Fulham arrive needing a response after a narrow home defeat to Everton, and while Marco Silva’s side remain firmly mid-table, recent results suggest they’ve lacked the clinical edge required to trouble the league’s elite. 

History also weighs heavily against the visitors here, with City enjoying unprecedented dominance in this fixture, particularly in Manchester.

Manchester City to win 

Guardiola’s side have won their last 19 meetings with Fulham in all competitions, including 16 consecutive Premier League victories, both records in English football. 

At the Etihad, City are unbeaten in 11 straight league games (W9, D2) and have collected 44 points from a possible 51 across their last 17 home fixtures. 

Fulham, meanwhile, have won just three of 44 away league matches against teams starting the day in the top three. With Marco Silva losing all 13 of his Premier League encounters with City, a home win at 19/50 looks well justified.

Tip: Manchester City to win @ 19/50 

Bet explanation: This bet wins if Manchester City beat Fulham regardless of the score.

Erling Haaland to score or assist 

Few players relish this fixture more than Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has been involved in 10 goals in just seven Premier League appearances against Fulham, scoring seven and assisting three.

After netting City’s late winner at Anfield on Sunday, Haaland arrives with renewed confidence and should again be central to everything City do in attack. 

Given City’s dominance in this matchup and Fulham’s habit of conceding late chances on the road, Haaland registering a goal contribution at 33/100 looks a solid bet.

Tip: Erling Haaland to score or assist @ 33/100 

Bet explanation: This bet wins if Erling Haaland scores or provides an assist against Fulham.

Bernd Leno to make 3+ saves 

Even if Fulham struggle to take points, their goalkeeper is likely to be busy. Bernd Leno has made three or more saves in six of his last nine away Premier League appearances. 

Crucially, he’s reached that mark in six of his seven previous visits to Manchester City in the competition. 

With City expected to dominate possession and shot,s especially at the Etihad, Leno should be heavily tested once again making 3+ saves at 33/100 an attractive supporting selection.

Tip: Bernd Leno to make 3+ saves @ 33/100 

Bet explanation: This bet wins if Bernd Leno makes at least three saves against Manchester City.
