Fulham are currently in 10th place in the Premier League standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The home side slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa this week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive in recent weeks. The Cityzens thrashed league-leaders Arsenal by a 4-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.
- Manchester City have an impressive record against Fulham and have won 38 out of the 71 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Fulham's 17 victories.
- Fulham are winless in their last 15 matches against Manchester City in the Premier League, with their previous victory coming by a 3-1 margin in 2009.
- Manchester City have won their last 13 matches against Fulham in Premier League - they have longer streaks in this regard only against Watford and West Bromwich Albion in the competition.
- Fulham have kept only one clean sheet in their 29 games against Manchester City in the Premier League - the only time they achieved the feat was in a 0-0 draw in 2004.
