The Premier League title race was kicked into life on Sunday after Man City’s dramatic win at Anfield. Pep Guardiola will be hopeful that his side can build on that success when they host Fulham on Feb 11.
City’s inconsistent form has been their Achilles heel throughout 2025-26, but they are typically a team that ends the season in red-hot form. Therefore, the fact that they trail Arsenal by six points at this stage of the season will put incredible pressure on the Gunners.
Fulham will be the visitors to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, as the Cottagers bid to bounce back after losing three of their last four fixtures.

For the first time this season, Man City looked like potential champions in their 2-1 win at Anfield on Sunday. Guardiola’s side looked dead and buried after 80 minutes, trailing 1-0 to one of their fiercest rivals.
However, goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland turned the game on its head in remarkable fashion. Still, City have won just two of their last five. But, their form at the Etihad has been rock solid.
The former champions have picked up 44 points from a possible 51, and they are unbeaten in their last eleven at home in the Premier League.

Marco Silva has done an excellent job at Fulham this season, as the Cottagers already appear safe from the threat of relegation.
However, any chance of a European challenge in the second half of the campaign looks slim. Fulham have lost three of their last four, which includes an undeserved 2-1 home loss against Everton on Saturday.
But, the defeat was of their own doing after missing countless opportunities to put the game out of reach of the visitors. Fulham have also underperformed on the road against teams starting the day in the top three spots, winning just three of their last 44.
| TOTAL | Man City | Fulham | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Games | 39 | 26 | 4 | 9 |
| Goals | 138 | 96 | 42 |
This should be one of the most straightforward midweek Premier League games to make picks. City have been red-hot at the Etihad throughout the season, while they have won each of their last 19 fixtures against the Cottagers. Meanwhile, Fulham have lost on their last eight trips to the Etihad Stadium.
