Team Analysis
The forthcoming match set at Craven Cottage between Fulham and Manchester City is predicted to be an exciting contest. Manchester City, currently in the midst of a title race, is tipped as the overwhelming favorites against a Fulham squad that shows no motivation for the time being. Last week, Manchester City's morale was boosted when they delivered a decisive 5-1 victory against Wolves, with the spotlight shone on Erling Haaland as he finally shrugged off weeks of criticism by netting four goals. However, Fulham's recent performance has been lackluster at best; they presently sit in the 13th position in the Premier League standings, with no hopes of surpassing Bournemouth to secure a top-half finish.

Head-to-Head
The past records are in favor of Manchester City as it prepares to face Fulham in the upcoming match. The Citizens have held a strong grip over Fulham in the recent years, boasting an impressive tally of 15 consecutive victories. Moreover, their previous encounter earlier in September last year left Fulham with a 5-1 defeat. A noteworthy fact is that both teams have found the net in each of their last four head-to-head clashes.

Odds Analysis
Crunching the numbers and past performance, Fulham presents a rather weak front. The team has only one victory in their last seven Premier League matches, which does not bode well when up against defending champions like Manchester City who cannot risk any further slip-ups. The Citizens are on a roll with six back-to-back victories in the Premier League, managing to net four or more goals in five of those matches. In light of these figures, we cannot help but support Manchester City to dominate the match from the very beginning till the ending whistle with odds set at 1.72. Erling Haaland, who has returned to form after his injury, has good odds at 3.40 to score the opening goal. With Manchester City having scored at least two goals in their last 16 meetings with Fulham, Haaland has an excellent chance to shine.
