Fulham vs Manchester City prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-12-01 19:30.
[p]An improving Fulham claimed their first Premier League away win of the season at the weekend, but now face a Manchester City side who have enjoyed facing them over the years. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Two very early goals secured a 2-1 win for Fulham at Tottenham and things are suddenly looking up for the Cottagers. Saturday night’s victory steered Fulham six points clear of the drop zone, with three wins from their last four league games (L1) hinting that their miserable start to the campaign is now firmly in the rearview mirror. Even in spite of their sluggish start, Marco Silva’s side have had no issues picking up points at home, with only league-leaders Arsenal leaving Craven Cottage victorious this season across all competitions (W6, D1). Fulham have won each of their last two league outings on home turf without conceding, and if they can shut out their formidable visitors here, they stand to win three successive top-flight home games to nil for the first time since February 2011![/p]
[p]Manchester City needed a stoppage-time winner to inch past Leeds at the weekend (3-2) after earlier squandering a 2-0 lead. That game was somewhat symptomatic of the struggles Pep Guardiola’s men have been facing of late, as they’d lost their two prior games, and with a yawning gap to Arsenal at the summit, they need to click into gear soon to avoid being cut adrift. An evening game in the capital seemingly provides the perfect opportunity to do just that, as City have won 13 of their last 14 7pm or later kick-offs in the Premier League (L1), while they’ve been defeated on just one of their last 14 top-flight visits to London clubs (W9, D4).[/p]
