Fulham’s 2023/24 season is over no matter their final two results. Comfortably away from the relegation fight, but also not even close to the European spots they will just look to end the season on a high having achieved their season target. It is a tough situation for Fulham, who find themselves comfortable in the middle of the table but lacks the investment and squad depth to fight for higher positions.
For the first time in a long period, the Cityzens have the chance to take the lead in the Premier League, at least until Arsenal plays Manchester United. Pep Guardiola’s side has the advantage and crucially know they solely depend on themselves: if they go on to win their remaining three matches they will be crowned Premier League champions no matter what Arsenal’s results are.
Even though the Champions League elimination was a tough pill to swallow, they could finish off another great season with a fourth consecutive Premier League title. That would set a new record in the Premier League era, with the potential of a domestic double adding extra motivation.
Manchester City’s last game was a 5-1 win over Wolverhampton. The team was back at its best, finishing the game off before the end of the first half and most importantly with Erling Haaland having a 2022/23 season-like performance. The Norweigan scored four goals before being subbed off around the 80th minute to regain his confidence just in time after a slow 2024 for his standards.

Fulham vs Manchester City Prediction
Manchester City Win at 1.20
Fulham is possibly one of the best matchups for any team fighting for something at the moment. Nothing to do with their form or football, but rather the fact of not playing for a clear goal while the rivals play for titles, European spots or relegation is a massive disadvantage.
Manchester City finds Fulham one of their easiest rivals based on recent head-to-head, recording 20 consecutive games without defeat against them with the last 15 of them ending up in a win. It is a 15-year-long supremacy that shows no sign of a surprise this time around.
Fulham vs Manchester City Tips
Over 2.5 goals at 1.36
The last five matchups between these two sides have produced over 2.5 goals, including the first round of the Premier League 23/24 season, which ended up in a 5-1 win for the Cityzens.

Even though winning all three games will be enough for Manchester City to be crowned champions, they are still behind Arsenal in goal difference. So, if they have the chance to reduce that gap, they will certainly not lift the foot off the gas.
