Fulham vs Man City - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Ruben Dias starts for the visitors in place of Kyle Walker - as Pep Guardiola's side look to move to the top of the table with a win at Craven Cottage

Example, an award-winning English musician, who is also a Fulham fan, has just been speaking to TNT Sports about the match.

He doesn't sound confident, the singer-songwriter is just hopeful that his team 'don't lose by five goals'.

Do you all feel the same, Fulham fans?

Arsenal fans, you won't want to read this post...

The history of this fixture is extremely one-sided, Manchester City almost always come out on top.

Fulham haven't beaten City in their last 11 Premier League home games against them, stretching back to 2005.

City have also won their last 15 meetings with the west London side, and have scored in their last 31 games with them.

That is what you call dominant.

When I think of Joao Palhinha, I imagine a tough-tackling midfielder.

Well, the statistic I am about to share proves that.

Palhinha is just one yellow card away from equalling the record of most bookings in a single season of 14.

However, no player has ever hit that total in multiple seasons...

Not a record he will want to break today, but with the way City play I'm sure he will be crunching into challenges.

Fulham do not like the sight of Erling Haaland.

I'm sure the Norweigan feels quite the opposite, though, he loves a game against the Cottagers.

The Golden Boot leader has netted five times in his three games against the Londoners.

He is four goals clear at the top of the Premier League scoring charts, with 25 goals to his name, but he will want to further that lead today.

If I was Fulham, I would be worried...

Wow, what a line-up.

Manchester City are flexing their muscles, all the big boys are involved today.

Pep Guardiola makes just a single change, like Fulham, with Ruben Dias coming into the back four.

Kyle Walker drops out and takes a place on the bench.

Just the one change for Fulham.

It's an enforced one, as Sasa Lukic misses Fulham's final game of the season through injury.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid replaces him, and captains the side too.

London is looking particularly gorgeous today.

In the past week, the temperature has risen in the capital, it has been lovely. I love this time of year.

Let's hope that today's game matches the weather, and both sides serve us up some heat.

It's a stunning setting for the beautiful game to be played in.

Manchester City have been simply scintillating in 2024.

Pep Guardiola's side are 32 matches unbeaten since December, excluding penalty shootouts, which is a club record.

In all competitions, it is the fourth-longest unbeaten run by a to-flight side in English football.

They are on a roll, and in truth, it's tough to envisage them being stopped before the end of the season.

Although, all runs do come to an end at some point

...

This is a crazy statistic.

Going by this, Fulham might want to be careful in the area not to trip any Man City players up.

Erling Haaland is in good penalty-taking form, he netted two just last week against Fulham.

He will be licking his lips if he gets the opportunity to score another.

It seems the spirits are high in the Fulham camp.

The west London side have arrived at Craven Cottage for today's crunch match with Manchester City.

The players are certainly in a good mood going by those smiles, I wonder if they have just come from kite flying practice?

It's a lovely day for it...

Oh, it is really tight, isn't it?

Manchester City have been breathing down Arsenal's necks lately, and today they have the chance to overtake them.

Every season, City always seem to have games in hand over their title rivals, and that's been the case for some time this campaign.

They know that three wins will win them an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Arsenal don't play until tomorrow away at Manchester United, a huge match, so City can be top for at least 24 hours.

A huge day!

Arsenal fans, how are you feeling...

I believe that the Gunners are probably more nervous for this match than Manchester City, and they don't play until tomorrow.

As we get closer to its conclusion, it’s another monumental fixture in this gripping title race.

City know that they can't lose today because if they do, they hand the initiative back over to their title rivals.

They've been here before, it's hard to imagine that they will be feeling the pressure, but it is certainly there.

Fulham are no push over, Marco Silva's side have beaten Arsenal at Craven Cottage this season. It's not an easy place to go.

Will they upset the City apple cart?

Rise and shine football fans, we have a big day ahead!

Today signifies the penultimate weekend of Premier League football this season, and it begins with a hugely significant match. Fulham vs Manchester City.

It feels like City have been the hunters for most of this campaign, but today they have the chance to leapfrog Arsenal at the top of the table.

Will they continue to tear through the league, or can Fulham spring a surprise?

Stay with us, and you’ll find out!
