Fulham v Manchester City: Gut Feelings

Manchester City take their suspect defence to West London as they face Fulham in the Premier League. The Blues scraped past Leeds at the weekend after looking shaky in the second half of Saturday’s 3-2 victory, throwing away a 2-0 lead before Phil Foden rescued the Blues with a late winner.

Manager Pep Guardiola, and the City faithful, will be hoping the defence will hold solid against the Cottagers, who have lost just once at Craven Cottage this season, a 1-0 loss to Arsenal in October. Despite that good home form. Fulham are just six points above the relegation zone and the Blues will be hoping for a victory that will close the gap to just two points on Arsenal, for 24 hours at least.

As usual, our team are here to give us their thoughts and opinions on the match. Here’s what we think this week:

A tough matchup. Going south on a few days rest will prove difficult. A draw would not be the worst result. 2-2 Draw.

Fulham 2-2 City

The Cottagers will be high on confidence after beating Tottneham in their own stadium. Hopefully Phil Foden’s late winner will be enough for the Blues to get back on track after a shaky week.

Fulham 0-2 City

City just about got past Leeds at the weekend and here we are against another club circling the relegation zone. A trip to Craven Cottage awaits the Manc Blues. I’ll take City to take all three points on the back of a Haaland goal.

Fulham 1-3 City

This is a very tough match. Fulham are great at home and City will need to be on their guard if they are to take three points back north. My head says it will be a draw, but I’m going with my heart…it has to pay off one day.

Fulham 1-4 City

City almost messed it up against the Yorkshire new boys, but Phil Foden kept his cool to win the match for City. They will need to be tighter against Fulham to ensure they don’t give the visiting faithful a group heart attack on Tuesday night.

Saul was closest with a 3-1 prediction, while Will and Thomas both went for 3-0. As usual, Pete went stupid and thought we’d hit Leeds for six, one more goal and he would have at least got the number of goals right, if nothing else.

Here’s the table:
