Manchester City will be anxious to get three points this weekend so they can pass Arsenal and take over the top spot in the Premier League should the latter falter against Chelsea.
The goal for Pep Guardiola's team against Fulham is to beat Fulham and go ahead of Arsenal before the latter's difficult trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
The guests haven't lost in their past four league games, so defeating Fulham could not be an easy task for the defending champions.
The home team is the overwhelming favourite to win this match, with bet365 giving them mere odds of 1/8.
Fulham is a massive outsider to win, with odds of 16/1 (19.00) and 17/2 for the draw, respectively.
Erling Haaland, who might make a comeback for this game, will be looking to keep up his great run by scoring the game's first goal.
He has a chance of 7/4 (2.75), while Julian Alvarez, a teammate, has an odds of 10/3.
Aleksandar Mitrovic, Fulham's leading scorer with nine goals, is the least-best player for the visitors to get the game started at 12/1 (13.00).
The opening half of the Premier League season has seen Fulham perform remarkably well.
They have eight points after games against Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Leeds, and Everton and are now ranked seventh in the standings.
Notwithstanding their latest 1-0 setback against Liverpool, City have been in fantastic overall form.
There are no new injuries to worry about for them going into this game, but the host club is still without Kalvin Phillips and Kyle Walker.
Erling Haaland, a star forward who has missed City's last two games because of an injury, is likely to play in this game.
Manchester City vs. Fulham Prediction
Over 2.5 goals have already been netted in each of City's last 13 home games in the English top division.
This is a gamble that can be placed at odds of 2/7 (1.29), and those who anticipate the home club to win easily may support them with a -2 handicap at odds of 1.91.
The match will be live on K24 TV, DSTV, K24 Plus APP, GOTV, Sanyuka TV and other free streaming Apps online.
