It has been a tricky campaign for Manchester City, who will be trophyless for the first time since 2017, but they will be looking to secure Champions League football here against Fulham. Hosts Fulham still have an outside chance of sneaking into the Europa Conference League picture next season and will be bang up for this in front of their home fans at Craven Cottage. City also have the FIFA Club World Cup to look forward to in the summer and they will be looking to click into gear ahead of that too.

Fulham vs Manchester City Analysis
Manchester City need to deliver here, and they are being backed to do so by most punters and EPL betting sites.
Fulham
A gritty win at Brentford last weekend has propelled Fulham back into the mix to sneak a top 8 finish this term, an excellent return for Marco Silva’s men. Craven Cottage will be rocking for this one, as the whites look to finish what has been a positive campaign strongly and there is hope that Fulham can hold onto their best players this summer and kick on next term. Fulham don’t have the best recent record against City, but they will be eager to change that here in West London.
Team news: Reiss Nelson, Timothy Castagne, Rodrigo Muniz & Harrison Reed will miss out here for Fulham.
Fulham Predicted Lineup:
Leno, Tete, Bassey, Andersen, Robinson, Lukic, Berge, Cairney, Wilson, Iwobi & Jimenez.
Manchester City
Having lost out in a controversial FA Cup final last weekend, Manchester City will be looking to salvaging something from this season in this one at Fulham. The blues have struggled for consistency all season and their tame attacking showing at Wembley was another example of the need for refresh at the club. The FIFA Club World Cup will certainly be on the agenda for City in the summer and this is their last competitive fixture before that and they need a result to be assured of Champions League football next year too, making them hot favourites with most punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: John Stones and Nathan Ake miss out here for City, while Mateo Kovacic is suspended.
Manchester City Predicted Lineup:
Ederson, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, Akanji, Nico, Bernardo, Gundogan, Doku, Marmoush & Haaland.
Fulham vs Manchester City Prediction
It has been a season in which Manchester City have toiled but landing a place in the Champions League next season could provide a touch of solace. City know they need just a point to be assured of a top 5 finish, while a win in West London would see them wind up in 3rd. Fulham have beaten champions Liverpool at home this season and should have beaten City earlier in the campaign at the Etihad. This should be a good one and with City still not firing, they may end up settling for the draw that they need.
Prediction: The match to finish as a draw – 16/5 (+320) – Rhino Bet.
Fulham vs Manchester City – The Ultimate Bet
Draw & BTTS – 9/2 (+450) – Fitzdares
City know that they only need a point to be playing Champions League football next year and they may look to be pragmatic in this one.
