Manchester City can provisionally top the Premier League table with a victory over Fulham at the Etihad on Saturday, as Pep Guardiola’s side look to extend their unbeaten run to five games.
The Citizens bounced back from their defeat at Liverpool in mid-October by beating Brighton and Leicester in the league and picking up four points in their last two Champions League games against Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla to top their group.
Guardiola’s men head into the weekend two points behind league leaders Arsenal but will edge them out with a win here to put the pressure on the Gunners ahead of their trip to Chelsea on Sunday.
City are unbeaten in 14 home games, while other stats will fill the Cottagers with dread: Fulham have won none of their last 14 Premier League meetings with the Citizens, while they have lost the last 12 all competitions combined. .
Fulham are having a great season so far and are in seventh place, two points behind Chelsea.
Marco Silva’s men are unbeaten in their last four Premier League outings, earning victories over Aston Villa and Leeds between draws at home to Bournemouth and most recently Everton.

VPN Guide
If you’re out of the country for a series of Premier League fixtures, your domestic on-demand services unfortunately won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are thanks to your IP address (boo!). You won’t be able to watch it, which isn’t ideal if you’ve paid for a subscription and still want to follow the action without resorting to the illegal streams you’ve found on Reddit.
But help is at hand. To get around this, all you need to do is get a virtual private network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, which means the service can’t determine where you are and won’t automatically block the service you paid for. All information in between is fully encrypted – and that’s a result.
