It will take Pep Guardiola’s side three victories to win the title
Fulham are currently in 13th place In the league. They have won only one of their last five matches, beating West Ham on match day 32. Since then, they have drawn two and lost one. In order to make the title race more interesting, Marco Silva is likely to give Cityzens a huge fight as the season draws to a close.
For Manchester City to win the Premier League, there are three crucial matches left to play. They cannot lose any of those matches as their challenger Arsenal is winning all of their matches. They have won the last four matches in a row. Pep Guardiola’s side seems to enjoy performing under pressure, as they have been destroying opponents recently.

Player to Watch
Rodrigo Muniz (Fulham)
Rodrigo Muniz leads the team in scoring goals with nine in 24 matches. Although he is not a classical number nine, he excels at scoring goals for the team by using his speed and clinical finishing. With three strikers at Marco Silva’s disposal, his form has created a huge selection dilemma for him.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
It seems that Erling Haaland has found his scoring touch again after scoring four goals against Wolves in the last match. These goals have enabled him to overtake Cole Palmer in the Golden Boot race. Manchester City will have to rely on him to secure the Premier League title in the face of a heated title race.
Injury and Teams News
In Fulham’s squad, Harrison Reed remains a doubt after suffering a knock against Crystal Palace.
As the title race intensifies, Pep Guardiola will be the happiest coach right now as he has all his players available.
