Fulham host Manchester City in the Premier League this afternoon and could have a crucial role to play in the title race. Pep Guardiola’s side are hoping to become the first team to win the English top flight in four successive seasons and will jump back into first place if they beat the Cottagers in Saturday’s early kick-off.
They head into the weekend one point behind league leaders Arsenal but still control their own destiny with just three games left to play. The Gunners face a potentially difficult trip to Manchester United on Sunday and have played a game more than their title rivals.
By contrast, Fulham have secured their spot in the Premier League for next season and have little to play for at this stage of the campaign. With two games left to play, they could potentially finish inside the top 10 but would need a heap of other results to also fall their way. Cottagers boss Marco Silva will want his side to finish the season strongly yet his mind may already be turning to Fulham’s summer transfer plans.
