City to Finish Strong
Finishing the season well has become a trait of Guardiola’s Manchester City, and this year is no different. However, they were so poor earlier in the campaign that it might not be enough this time. They head to Fulham unbeaten in nine Premier League games, and with five wins in six.
Unlike the Cottagers, City also have something to play for. They could finish outside the top five if they lose, and that would be catastrophic for them. An away win is to be expected, and if everything goes their way, they could even leapfrog Arsenal into second.

Goal-Filled Finale
Only Liverpool have scored more goals than the Cityzens this season (70), and they’ll be gunning for more in the season finale. Omar Marmoush was on target again as they beat Bournemouth earlier in the week, and he only needs a couple more to reach double figures. He’s done very well considering he only joined in January.
Marco Silva’s side have seen more goals in their home games than away, and 67% at Craven Cottage have ended with over 2.5. That includes all of their last four. With their attacking quality, City can definitely take advantage of that.

Fulham top Premier League BTTS chart
Not a single team in the Premier League has been involved in more games where both teams have scored than Fulham. The 3-2 win over Brentford last time out was the 27th time it’s happened in 37 matches - that’s 73%. This figure rises to 78% in home fixtures, and that’s also the highest percentage in the league.
City’s games don’t see both sides on the scoresheet so often, but Daniel Jebbison’s consolation goal in midweek made it 21 times in 2024/25. While their defensive record has improved recently, they remain vulnerable. The home side will be encouraged by how others have managed to cause them problems.

Fulham Hit Their Stride in the Second Half
City are more effective in the first halves, while the hosts fare better in the second. It opens things up for a scenario where we see goals in both. Fulham score fewer and concede fewer in the opening half, but they have claimed 21 points from losing positions this season. They’re by no means dead and buried if they fall behind.
Based on that, and the fact that only six clubs have scored more second half goals than Fulham, we could see action in both halves. The visitors still have the upper hand, though, purely based on the talent they have available to them.

City Burst Out of the Blocks
Guardiola’s side have scored 25 times in the opening 30 minutes of league games this season. No other team in the division has scored more. Factor in Fulham’s relatively poor first-half stats, and it’d be no shock to see City take an early lead.
As previously mentioned, the Cottagers do tend to fight back when they fall behind, but they fall behind quite often. The 3-2 comeback against Brentford saw them trail at the break once again before two second-half strikes secured an impressive away victory. With 40 first-half goals, City could cause them real problems at Craven Cottage this weekend.
