Analysis and prediction for Fulham vs Man City: The home team will be overwhelmed.

Latest Fulham vs Man City team news

Fulham defender Timothy Castagne underwent ankle surgery earlier this month and remains sidelined along with Rodrigo Muniz, Harrison Reed (both with calf injuries) and Reiss Nelson (thigh injury).

Tom Cairney – whose contract expires this summer and who is rumored to be moving to Wrexham – could play his last game for the club after 10 years. The 34-year-old midfielder is likely to start in place of Emile Smith Rowe, while Harry Wilson also hopes to return to the starting lineup.

Striker Raul Jimenez is almost certain to continue leading the attack; all 12 of his Premier League goals this season have been crucial – either putting Fulham ahead (9 goals) or equalizing (3 goals). He is on track for his third consecutive Premier League scoring run.

For Man City, Mateo Kovacic is suspended after receiving a red card in the win against Bournemouth. John Stones is still out with a thigh injury. Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb are both available to play.

Ballon d'Or winner Rodri returned from a long-term knee injury, coming on as a late substitute against Bournemouth. However, Guardiola confirmed he will not start on Sunday.

Nico Gonzalez or Bernardo Silva could replace Kovacic in central midfield alongside Ilkay Gundogan, while De Bruyne is expected to wear the captain's armband in his 422nd – and final – appearance for Man City.

If Bernardo is moved to a deeper role, one of three players – Phil Foden (still struggling with an ankle and ruled out of the England squad), Savinho, or Jeremy Doku – will be given the opportunity to start on the right wing.

Latest football match prediction: Fulham vs Man City

Three days after their defeat in the FA Cup final for the second consecutive year – this time to Crystal Palace – Man City quickly bounced back with a 3-1 home win against Bournemouth on Tuesday evening, consolidating their position in the Premier League top five.

Despite missing a golden opportunity in the first half of his farewell match at the Etihad, Kevin De Bruyne was warmly honored by the fans. The club legend, who is about to have a statue erected in his honor, concluded his journey in the blue shirt with a victory thanks to goals from Omar Marmoush, Bernardo Silva, and Nico Gonzalez.

Before this round of matches, Pep Guardiola's team were in sixth place, but these valuable three points helped them climb to third. Man City now hold the advantage in the race for a Champions League spot, being two points ahead of Newcastle, Chelsea, and Aston Villa.

If Man City win against Fulham this weekend, they will be guaranteed third place. They even still have a slim chance of finishing second, provided Arsenal unexpectedly lose to Southampton and their goal difference is at least nine goals. If Arsenal don't lose, this will be the second time in 16 seasons as a manager in the top flight that Guardiola hasn't finished in the top two (the first time was in 2016-17).

Although they won't win any trophies for the first time in seven years, finishing in the top five would somewhat appease Man City fans. A draw would almost certainly be enough to secure that, but a loss to Fulham and other unfavorable results could see them drop to a Europa League qualification spot.

Man City are currently on a nine-match unbeaten run in the Premier League (six wins, three draws) and are confident having beaten Fulham in all 17 of their most recent encounters across all competitions – the longest winning streak in the history of the two teams in the English domestic league. This includes a 4-0 victory at Craven Cottage last season.

As for Fulham, after months of dreaming of qualifying for European competition for the first time since the 2011-12 season, their chances of participating in the Conference League have officially ended after a run of six defeats in their last ten matches.

However, they just had an impressive 3-2 victory against Brentford, thanks to goals from Raul Jimenez, Harry Wilson and captain Tom Cairney. With this win, Fulham broke their own record for points in a Premier League season (54 points), just two years after winning the Championship.

However, Fulham are currently unable to overtake Brighton (8th), who are 4 points ahead of them. Fulham's realistic goal now is to finish above Brentford in 9th place – their highest ranking in 13 years. However, a loss to Man City could see them drop to 12th place if Bournemouth and Crystal Palace both win.

Fulham beat Luton Town 4-2 in their final game of the season after failing to win their final game in the six seasons prior (one draw, five defeats). However, they will face a tough challenge against Man City, having gone 19 consecutive Premier League matches against them (three draws, 16 defeats), including 14 consecutive losses. The last time Fulham beat Man City was in April 2009 at the Etihad Stadium under manager Roy Hodgson.
