Fulham hosts Manchester City in round 28 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, March 13th at Craven Cottage (London)
Fulham already climbed into the Premier League the year before last but immediately left it. And the Cottagers did it ingloriously, long before the 38th round. Now Scott Parker (by the way, he got the position at the end of that season) has a less stellar but much more battleworthy lineup. In the last 10 rounds, Fulham lost only to Leicester and Tottenham. And last Sunday, thanks to the only goal by Lemina, the Cottagers beat the eminent Liverpool at Anfield. Thus, they managed to do what seemed impossible. Fulham caught up with Brighton, and Newcastle is only one point ahead. But are there any forces left to develop the success and overtake the competitors?

The Citizens won 21 times in a row until it was time for the Manchester derby, in which they suffered a 0-2 defeat from the Red Devils. First, Gabriel Jesus brought Martial down in his box already in the 40th second, providing the rivals with a handicap. And then Shaw doubled the lead with Rashford's help. However, even before that, it was clear that Pep Guardiola's charges were not in their best shape (for example, in the match versus West Ham). Nevertheless, the Citizens had enough attempts in the derby – in particular, there was a crossbar after Rodri's shot before the second goal conceded. That defeat did not really affect the tournament situation, as the leadership is undeniable. And the end of the winning streak should unload the team mentally because no one is waiting for records now. On the other hand, Manchester City will have to play the Champions League return leg. How will Pep apply the rotation, albeit taking into account a positive 0-2 score in the first match against Borussia Monchengladbach?
Fulham beat Manchester City back in 2009 and tied in 2011. After that, the Citizens won ten games in a row. Eight cases ended with clean sheets, including in December last year (2-0). Fulham was out of luck, as Manchester City will not indulge in two misfires a week. We bet on the Citizens to win with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.5 handicap
