Manchester City have no fitness concerns to speak of, with Erling Haaland (9 goals from 38 shots) expected to lead the line and Mathis Cherki (5 goals, 20 chances created) operating just behind him, with Joško Gvardiol also an attacking outlet from defense.

• Mathis Cherki (Manchester City): 5 goals and 20 chances created in 565 minutes underline his growing influence operating just behind Haaland.
• Alexander Iwobi (Fulham): 1 goal but a team-high 24 chances created shows Fulham’s main creative route forward, even if end product has been limited.

Manchester City vs Fulham Prediction

Manchester City, sitting on 21 points from 10 games, should have enough quality to find the breakthrough even in a scrappy contest, while Fulham — on 10 points from the same number of matches — are well-equipped to make it hard work without being able to find a way through themselves. Expect Erling Haaland to settle it with the game’s only goal as City edge it 1-0.
