Manchester City have the chance to move to within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal when they take on Fulham at Craven Cottage on Tuesday night.
Despite only scraping past Leeds United, City were one of the big winners of Gameweek 13, primarily because Chelsea and Arsenal played out a 1–1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. That result meant the Cityzens finished the weekend in second and five points adrift of the Gunners.
It looked like Pep Guardiola’s side would steamroll past Leeds on Saturday, racing into a 2–0 lead, but Daniel Farke’s half-time double change tilted the dynamic of the contest in the away side’s favour. They drew level after the hour, but City were rescued by an excellent Phil Foden finish in stoppage time, helping them to all three points.
Fulham, meanwhile, continued their improved run of form by winning away at Tottenham Hotspur. After a nightmare October, the Cottagers have won three of their previous four and have opened up a buffer with the bottom three.
Remarkably, Fulham have lost the previous 18 head-to-head meetings. Their last victory over City arrived in 2009.
Here is guide to the game.
