Manchester City can go top of the league with a game-in-hand over title rivals Arsenal if they can bring home three points from Craven Cottage when they face Fulham. The reigning league champions have capitalised on Arsenal's dip in form which included the midweek win at the Etihad Stadium against the Gunners.
City are the unsurprising favourites going into this match at Craven Cottage priced at 2/9 with Betfred while hosts Fulham are longshots at 12/1 and a draw is 5/1. The hosts are winless against City in their last 15 Premier League matches and lost the last 10 with an aggregate score of 28-4.
With Pep Guardiola's side in resounding form with seven successive league wins, talks of a treble are becoming more and more serious after each match. A win will put them back in pole position since dropping points at the City Ground against Nottingham Forest and with the way the rest of their fixture list looks not many can stop them.
