Command Analysis
Manchester City continue their pursuit of the European trophy as they move on to the last 16 in the Champions League. On Wednesday, the team defeated Sevilla (3:1) and qualified for the playoffs from first place in Group G. This weekend, the reigning champions of England will strive to get three points in attempt to dethrone Arsenal.
Phillips and Walker have been ruled out, Akanji is a doubt.
Marco Silva said, that a goalless stalemate against Everton las week was an unfair result - Fulham had 24 scoring chances, but couldn't find the back of the net. A frustrating draw didn't allow the team to get into the top-5. Currently, Fulham are in 7th place in the standings with 19 points from five wins and four draws.
Before that, the Cottagers defeated Aston Villa (3:0) and Leeds United (3:2). Fulham have done well on offense - they have scored 22 goals since the start of the season. Today, however, they will not get too many chances to score - the Cottagers scored only one goal in their last eight visits to Manchester.
Fulham will be without Kurzawa, Solomon, Reid, and Kebano.

Tip and bets
We don't think that the visitors will be able to create problems for the reigning champions of England. There is one question here: how many goals will the visitors concede. On average, Fulham concede 2.2 goals per away game. Most likely, Manchester City will secure a wide-margin victory.
Our prediction — Asian handicap (-2) to Manchester City
The visitors might try to park the bus and hold the home team to a draw, but the diffirence in quality is just too big. Guardiola's men should win comfortably even without Haaland.
Second bet — Manchester City to win by 3 goals
