First place in the Premier League table will be Manchester City’s for the first time since August if they can defeat Fulham today.
City’s dominant 4-1 victory over title rivals Arsenal in midweek has put them in the box seat for a third successive Premier League crown, with the likes of Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland in sumptuous form.
Pep Guardiola’s side are now just two points behind Arsenal with two games in hand – with the Gunners not in action until Tuesday.
Standing in their way are Fulham, whose Premier League safety was confirmed this week despite a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa on Tuesday. It’s the first time since 2013 that the Cottagers have retained their top flight status, after suffering relegation in 2019 and 2021.

Fulham vs Man City prediction
Marco Silva’s side have little to play for now, other than to compete for a top half finish in the Premier League, whereas City look like an unstoppable juggernaut and will have top spot in their sights. Fulham have failed to beat City in their previous 19 meetings, last tasting victory in April 2009.
With De Bruyne, Haaland and company all firing, the visitors should cruise to victory in West London.
A 3-0 win to Man City.
