Fulham vs Manchester City (25-05-2025) – Preview, Head to Head Stats, Prediction and Betting Tips.

Manchester City head to Craven Cottage knowing that a single point could be enough to secure their Champions League spot, but Pep Guardiola’s side will want to seal the deal in style. As the curtain falls on the Premier League season, the race for Europe is tighter than ever, with just three points separating third from seventh.

Team Form

Fulham will take confidence from a thrilling 3-2 win at Brentford last weekend. Despite trailing 2-1 at halftime, Marco Silva’s men mounted a spirited second-half comeback, scoring twice in quick succession to claim all three points. That result was only their second win in the last six Premier League fixtures, a run that also includes defeats to Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Everton.

Manchester City, on the other hand, bounced back from FA Cup disappointment with a convincing 3-1 home victory over Bournemouth. City have now avoided defeat in 11 of their last 12 matches across all competitions and remain one of the most in-form sides in the country. They’ve picked up key league wins over Everton, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace and have remained consistent on their travels.

Stats or Trends

Fulham’s home form has been shaky, with just three wins in their last eleven outings at Craven Cottage. They’ve lost three of their last five games on home soil, though there’s been no shortage of action — each of their last three home league matches have ended with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals.

City have dominated this fixture historically, going unbeaten in their last 23 meetings with Fulham. Their away form has also held up well, with seven positive results from their last nine on the road in the league.

Injuries or Players to Watch

Fulham will be without Harrison Reed, Rodrigo Muniz, and Timothy Castagne, all sidelined through injury. For City, Mateo Kovacic misses out due to suspension, while John Stones remains a doubt.

Expect Phil Foden and Erling Haaland to be key figures in City’s push for a top-three finish. Fulham, meanwhile, will look to Willian and João Palhinha to steady the midfield and disrupt City’s rhythm.

Prediction

Manchester City enter the final day with their destiny firmly in their hands and a far superior record in this fixture. While Fulham have shown some fight recently, their inconsistent form at home could prove costly. City’s attacking depth and experience should see them edge this one.

Prediction: Fulham 1 – 3 Manchester City
