Manchester City have an opportunity to crank up the pressure on Arsenal in the Premier League title race as they travel to Fulham for Saturday’s early kick-off in the Premier League. Fulham v Manchester City is the first of eight Premier League fixtures taking place on a packed Saturday schedule and here at betting.bet we’ll bring the latest team news, match insights and expert betting tips as well as the best free bet offers and odds from our partners at BoyleSports.

Form

Manchester City are currently enjoying a six-game winning streak in the Premier League, scoring 24 goals in those six games as they keep up the pressure on leaders, Arsenal. Pep Guardiola’s side currently sit one point off top spot with a game in hand having 82 points in 35 matches so far. Manchester City ran out 5-1 winners at home to Wolves last weekend whilst their last home league game produced a 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest.

Saturday’s hosts, Fulham, are sitting comfortably in mid-table as they ease towards the end of what has been a solid yet uninspiring campaign under Marco Silva. Fulham are 13th with 44 points from 36 matches but have won just one of their last seven league games. Fulham have drawn back-to-back matches having followed up a 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace by playing out a 0-0 draw at near neighbours, Brentford last weekend.

Fulham v Manchester City: Head-to-Head

Manchester City have an excellent record against Fulham, winning each of the past 15 meetings in all competitions and remaining unbeaten in the last 21.

The reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium ended 5-1 in Manchester City’s favour thanks to goals from Julian Alvarez and Nathan Ake and an Erling Haaland hat-trick. Tim Ream scored for Fulham midway through the first half. The corresponding fixture at Craven Cottage last season also produced a Manchester City win as the visitors won 2-1 with Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez once again on the scoresheet.

Betting Tips

Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez have scored in three straight matches against Fulham and both are enjoying an excellent run of form in front of goal for title-chasing Manchester City. Haaland’s four-goal performance against Wolves took his Premier League goal tally up to 25 goals for the season whilst Alavrez’s strike against Wolves was his second in three league games. Below are just some of the goal scorer markets in which you should consider backing Haaland and/or Alvarez.

Free-scoring Manchester City have averaged four goals per game over their last six league games and we’re not expecting them to let up at Craven Cottage. Over 3.5 match goals looks well overpriced at 20/21.
