Tonight we will watch the Fulham vs. Man City match.
Man City has won every game against Fulham since 2012, and I think they will win again tonight because they are only 5 points behind Arsenal in the title race, and they won’t want that gap to grow.

The Newcastle United vs. Tottenham match could be a good one. I think both teams are evenly matched. I see Newcastle United as the favorite, but it’s hard to make a clear prediction.

Manchester City are the favorites to win tonight, I am quite confident in their abilities, Guardiola is making preparations to return to the top, a big chance to stay near the top with a narrower margin.

Fulham's performance is not that good, they still have a lot of mistakes in their matches, but interestingly enough yesterday they got a win against Tottenham.

Tottenham is in bad shape, Newcastle is more likely to win.

Maybe Man City is a favorite but we all know what happens when the big teams go away to Fulham. Its always a hard struggle and i doubt Man City will win easily. We seen what Fulham is capable in an away game and at home they are much much better so i think Man City dosent have an easy job at all and they might even drop points here and they need the points badly now to catch up to Arsenal.

Fulham is indeed strong in their home matches but in their H2H matches Man City wins more matches so it is very natural for City to be more likely to win the match even though basically it is not an easy thing.
Guardiola is definitely preparing something interesting for us to see tonight, so let's see whether City can get the full 3 points or not.

I dont know still i played that Man City will score two or more and i think that they will score at least two. I think Fulham will also score at least one goal,so i think this will be a really intresting match between these two. Maybe Man City has a better H2H and is expected from them to win but i think it will be really close. I wonder what will Guardiola prepare for this match.

This could be a tight and difficult match for Manchester City, given that Fulham are unbeaten at home and in good form, having won four of their last five matches.
However, I'm confident Pep Guardiola will find a way to win this crucial match to maintain their five-point lead over Arsenal. A draw would still be a loss for Manchester City, but a win is crucial, and Fulham vs. Manchester promises to be an exciting match.

Pep Guardiola is not planning on losing any point tonight. It's entirely going to be tougher, a difficult match for Manchester City because none of these oppositions keen on settling for lesser outcome. Everyone wants to be the best among the best and competitive for major trophies. Fulham united on the other hand are not settling for less results, besides they're home team and would want the best results for themselves.

There are some mid table clubs in the premier league that usually causes upset against big clubs and rather drop points against lower clubs or clubs in same class with them. Then there are clubs that actually do the reserve of that and a perfect example of such club is Fulham. I don’t see Fulham often causing upsets to top clubs rather you will only see them losing points against this top clubs but once it’s against their class or lower clubs they are very good against them.

This claim can be backed by Fulham head to head record against today’s opponent Manchester City in which they have lost all their last 10 meetings with the Manchester club. Even upon this current form of theirs I still think it will definitely continue as Manchester City themselves have lost far too many points in the past couple of games and with Arsenal dropping points in the weekend I think they will want to cover up more ground

It is very likely to happen, Manchester City might actually even end up scoring more than two goals, they need to win so they can stay competitive for title. It's a fact that they have not been stable but still they need to be winning. The last matche they played it almost ended in a draw if not for late goal. Now I believe they will be more serious not to find themselves in such a position. I am sure they will score two or even more goals tonight.

You might be right,Fulham m8fht not ve able to stop or trouble City to get a win or maybe a tie. By the way, City is currently leading with a goal from the bot (Erling Haaland) assisted by Jeremy Doku.

There are still much time but City might just add more goals and even if Fulham get on the scoresheet they are likely not getting any point(s) tonight.

Erling Haaland's goal puts Manchester City ahead away from home. They have a chance to score a few more goals. Haaland, in particular, is very effective in this regard. He's really putting a strain on the defense today. Fulham isn't fully into the game yet.

 Furthermore, Bournemouth and Everton are both scoreless in the other match. It's safe to say neither team is particularly effective in the match. Even though Everton are looking better, they haven't been able to break through the Bournemouth defence at the moment.

Manchester City will need to win this match to secure the top spot in the Premier League. If City wins this match, it will cut the gap between them by two points. Then, they'll have to wait for Arsenal to drop points to Brentford tomorrow. Frankly, the chances of Arsenal dropping points at home are very slim.

What I'm seeing on the match is opposite of Manchester City suffering because the club that is facing the difficult time is Fulham because Manchester City is giving them a one man one player so they are not getting much chance, is already 1:0 to Fulham after a good pass that was well utilized by Haaland, after the goal there was someone the camera showed, I think it was his father that came to watch him. One thing I like about Haaland is that he doesn't waste time to aim the net because his leg was already up before the ball got to him and he didn't miss the goal. Fulham is playing as they are use to and Iwobi is giving nice crosses from side wing.

[Ruttoshi]

What a remarkable day for Haaland as he scored his 100 EPL goals in 111 appearance making him the first as he breaks Allan Shearer record who scored 100 goals in 124 EPL appearance.

Haaland beautiful finish on the 17th minutes gives City the lead after he missed an early goal that hit the bar on the 6th minutes. Newcastle is playing to equalize the goal amd if City fails to stop them or double their goal, Fulham will equalize the goal.

If I say that Fulham can make Manchester City, who are now leading the match with a 1 goal win, change in the second half, can you judge that by their game in the 35 minutes of the first half.
Marco Silva, who has managed Fulham for 5 seasons already counting this season, always closes the season in 10th position or below, only his first season in the Premier League with Fulham was a little good because it ended in 10th position.

The situation changed, instead of Fulham making changes, Manchester City widened the score to 2-0. What I said at the beginning no longer applies, in fact in the second half Manchester City will have the opportunity to increase their goal margin.
Man City is very close to Arsenal's points. They will be a serious shadow of Arsenal.

Haaland is having a very beautiful night as he has also gave an assist to Rijinders to who scored a beautiful goal to further strengthen city lead. Haaland hardwork is really paying off for him, the 100 goal eluded him against Newcastle and Leeds and some people were already doubting that he won't score tonight that his wait for the 100 goal will delay further but somehow I knew the big guy was going to score tonight so happy for the Norwegian. As things stands now city are already cruising with a comfortable 0:3 against Fulham.

You are right as Manchester City is having a field day today and pouring goals like they are so angry at Fulham. Before the half time, the match is already 1:3 in favor of Manchester City and there is high possibility that it will not end here. The second half will definitely produce more goals even though I'm already fine with the score which makes my prediction of over 3.5 a success already. I hope that Newcastle vs Tottenham and Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid will be able to play both teams score so that my parlay will work.

Haaland is a beast, Haaland is a machine as well. So I'm not even surprised that his getting the numbers for himself. It's not been long since he made his Premier League debut and just few seasons later, his got a century of goals in the league. This was a league some people claimed was going to swallow him because it's not a farmers league but his actually the one who has swallowed the league.

Just as you said, it's already happening. Goals upon goals. Manchester city are indeed in a feast of goals. It's there day, let them enjoy and have fun while it lasts.

It's clear that Fulham cannot match there strength and tacticality today, and everywhere seems open for city to penetrate and that's just what they are doing. It's already 5:1 lead for city and the second half is just starting. And maybe, more Gail's may come in. Oh, I just got an update now, it's 5:2 now, Fulham have managed to pull one back. But it's nothing at all, it's Manchester city's day, and they are riding perfectly fine

The second half of the game was even more exciting as 3 more goals were scored in just 9 minutes.
Currently the score is 2-5 and we still have about 30 minutes left for normal time which of course this is an interesting thing because even though Manchester City is very superior but they do not relax their attacks as well as Fulham because in terms of conditions they are losing in any way in this match but they show an extraordinary performance and that can be appreciated.

With time remaining long enough at this time it is not impossible that there will be goals scored again in this match.
Over 3.5 is quite interesting to do in betting and I also did it in over 3, actually before betting I wanted to be bolder at over 4.5 because the odds were better but I did not do it because of some considerations and now there is a bit of regret even though I have won in betting today.

However, I'm confident Pep Guardiola will find a way to win this crucial match to maintain their five-point lead over Arsenal. A draw would still be a loss for Manchester City, but a win is crucial, and Fulham vs. Manchester promises to be an exciting match.

Manchester City showed their consistency to remain competitive in the race for the English league title with Arsenal. Although playing away at Fulham's Craven Cottage, Manchester City displayed an extraordinary performance, leading 5-1 by the 54th minute. Even though the score has now changed to 5-2 in favor of Manchester City. In this match, Philip Foden also showed his consistency after previously scoring 2 goals against Leeds United; today, Foden has scored goals at the 44th and 48th minutes against Fulham. If they can maintain this victory, which they certainly can, Manchester City will put significant pressure on Arsenal, who will only play tomorrow as the home team hosting Brentford at the Emirates Stadium.

[Miles2006]

Pep Guardiola is not planning on losing any point tonight. It's entirely going to be tougher, a difficult match for Manchester City because none of these oppositions keen on settling for lesser outcome. Everyone wants to be the best among the best and competitive for major trophies. Fulham united on the other hand are not settling for less results, besides they're home team and would want the best results for themselves.

Well, from my observation Manchester city will definitely defeat Fulham aside home benefits, currently Manchester City is leading with 5 goals against Fulham with 2 goals. I don’t expect much from the club because they can’t be compared to Manchester city other than the fact city team actually failed for some time well, it’s nice to know they’re coming back strong obviously a competitive season seems the best while Arsenal playing against Brentford tomorrow and Chelsea against Leeds,  what are the prediction this time.

[doomloop]

City's performance in recent matches hasn't been great, having lost to Leverkusen and Newcastle. They won against Leeds, but by a narrow margin. This should motivate Fulham to spring a surprise on City. However, as you said, beating City isn't easy. And my prediction is the same: City will win.
The Newcastle vs. Tottenham match will be quite interesting. Tottenham have had poor results in their last two matches, while Newcastle will come into the match with confidence after beating City and Everton. I think Newcastle will win because Tottenham's poor form.
And for Arsenal, they'll face Brentford. Brentford aren't a team to beat easily. If City lose, they'll close the gap to Arsenal by just two points. This will certainly motivate Arsenal to win every match to maintain their lead over their rivals.

City is not looking good overall, but they are still second place. I think the end of the season result will be that they will finish second or at worst third place in the league, and they will be losing at something like quarter finals (depending on matchup luck) at UCL and that would be the season for them.

Not entirely sure if this will be the case, like they probably won't be fourth or lower at premier league, that sounds unlikely to me and probably won't happen. On top of that if we see them do better than quarter finals at UCL that means they must have faced some seriously easy teams as well, do not think they are better than 8 teams in the UCL at the moment, they are inconsistent and losing some of the games badly.

I think Arsenal and Chelsea will win their matches tomorrow. Neither team faces teams of their caliber, and we saw how good both teams are in the last match. Manchester City's win made a splash because the talk of the town was more about the consecutive goals they conceded and the near-dropping of points than about the victory itself. After the 5-4 draw, Fulham fans were now convinced they could draw.

[IceLincoln]

Well Manchester City finally won but it wasn’t easy. I know Fulham gave Pep Guardiola a scare with the two quick goals by the Nigerian Winger Samuel Chukwueze who has been in top form in recent games, seems like he’s found his spark once again.
Fulham almost took over the game too late if not we could have seen a draw or even a win from them. Pep and his boys became more conservative and tried to strengthen their defence towards the end and allowed Fulham too much time with the ball. But at the end City made away with the all important three points and they’re just 2 points behind league toppers Arsenal.

[Stable090]

Manchester City's win made a splash because the talk of the town was more about the consecutive goals they conceded and the near-dropping of points than about the victory itself. After the 5-4 draw, Fulham fans were now convinced they could draw.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea won’t be playing against strong teams which i will say they going to find them difficult to win. They both should be able to get a win in the match, because they currently in form, and won’t want to lose any point right now. Arsenal wants to keep on increasing their points difference between them and Manchester City which is currently in second position, and Chelsea are also fighting for the first position, so they won’t want to lose any point right now.

Manchester city were just lucky in the match, after Manchester City scored their 5th goal, I was just so confident in them, and I never expected Fulham to score more than 2 goals which they had then, but I was just surprised to see Fulham trying to close the goal difference, but unfortunately Fulham still lost the match, they couldn’t equalize to make it draw.

I was actually confident that Man City would win against Fulham, as Fulham's performance has been declining this season, while Man City has been experiencing a fairly good upswing lately. However, when I saw the final score, I was truly surprised.

Indeed, Man City won, and that's the main point. However, they conceded four goals, proving that their defense was just as weak in this match. Pep needs to evaluate this in depth. And you said it was unlucky, which could be because one of Man City's goals was an OCR goal by Ham player Sander Berge.

But if you look at the statistics of their performance, here, Fulham actually dominated several things, fortunately Man City's front line was very sharp in its attacks so that from only 4 shots on target, all of them became goals.
