Man City v Fulham

Manchester City vs Fulham Preview

Manchester City will be seeking a swift return to winning ways in the Premier League this Saturday afternoon when they play host to Fulham at the Etihad Stadium following two frustrating draws on the trot, while Fulham will be seeking a third league win on the bounce in the English top flight.

Manchester City had previously picked up where they left off at the end of last season's campaign which saw The Citizens collect nine wins on the trot to claim yet another Premier League title, and this season Pep Guardiola's side had immediately clicked into gear by winning their opening four games on the trot as well.

Victories gained over Chelsea, Ipswich Town, West Ham and Brentford handed Manchester City with the perfect start to this campaign but subsequent stalemates with Arsenal and Newcastle United have pegged the upcoming hosts back a little.

One possible concern is the fact that Manchester City have managed to keep just one clean sheet in their opening six games this term and this may be something Pep Guardiola addresses ahead of this upcoming encounter against Fulham this Saturday - nevertheless, City are now unbeaten in each of their previous 33 home games in the Premier League.

Fulham were dealt a 1-0 defeat away from home at Manchester United on the opening day of this Premier League season but The Cottagers have not looked back since as the London club have put together an impressive and solid looking five-game unbeaten sequence in subsequent weeks.

Marco Silva's side have registered three wins and two draws within these five matches which have seen his side pick up victories against Leicester City, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, the latter two victories being back-to-back wins.

In addition, Fulham have added to their points tally with useful points gained in draws with Ipswich Town and West Ham as well which has helped the visitors climb up the Premier League table to an early sixth place position.

However, Fulham are likely to face their biggest test yet this term with this upcoming trip to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon especially as the bigger picture shows The Cottagers have found wins on the road hard to come by in the Premier League for some time now.

Indeed, the London club have managed to pick up just four victories within their last 21 outings on the road overall along with slipping to 10 defeats and this is certainly not the kind of form you want to be taking with you for a trip to the Etihad Stadium!

Manchester City v Fulham Verdict

Manchester City have been absolutely dominant over Fulham in previous exchanges as Pep Guardiola's side have won the last 16 meetings on the trot against The Cottagers and the hosts look set for another victory here as well.
