As midweek action returns to the Premier League, Ladbrokes shares its Man City vs Fulham preview and predictions, with expert bet builder tips and live odds.

A dramatic late victory against Liverpool saw Man City pick up a crucial three points at the weekend, with Pep Guardiola's side refusing to give up on this title race.

Fulham suffered a bruising defeat on Saturday, losing to Everton at Craven Cottage, and with the Cottagers losing every single Premier League meeting with City since 2011, their confidence won't be sky high heading to the Etihad.

Our prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Fulham

Sunday's eye-catching comeback on Merseyside was a real statement from Manchester City, keeping the pressure on Arsenal at the top of the league and putting a relatively poor record at Anfield behind them - and we're expecting the momentum to continue on Wednesday night.

Fulham were on the wrong end of a comeback themselves at the weekend, losing at home to Everton, and have now won just one of their last four as they slowly slip away from the top seven. The Cottagers also haven't picked up a single point against Man City since September 2011, so with all things considered, we're backing a routine home win here.

Predicted lineup (4-1-4-1): Donnarumma / Nunes, Dias, Guehi, O'Reilly / Rodri / Cherki, Reijnders, Foden, Semenyo / Haaland

Predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Leno / Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson / Berge, Iwobi / Wilson, Smith-Rowe, Kevin / Jimenez

Erling Haaland looked back to his imperious best for large parts of Sunday's win at Anfield, with a goal and an assist guiding his team to a crucial win over the champions, and we're expecting the deadly striker to continue in his charge towards the Golden Boot with another goal against Fulham on Wednesday night.

Seven goals in seven games against the Cottagers puts them right up there among Haaland's favourite opponents, and with an uncharacteristically slow start to 2026 seemingly now behind him, the big Norwegian will be ready to put Fulham to the sword again. Haaland averages almost two shots on target per game, and if you give him that many opportunities, he's bound to find the net - so we're backing him to score against Fulham at the Etihad.

If December's reverse fixture is anything to go by, when City won 5-4 at Craven Cottage, then we should be in for an entertaining night - and while we don't anticipate nine goals this time around, we are backing both teams to score again.

Despite their woeful record against City, Fulham haven't failed to score at the Etihad since 2020, and still maintain hopes of securing European football with a top-seven finish - so this won't be a stroll for the hosts. We know City are likely to find the net, with Pep Guardiola's side last failing to score in a league game at the Etihad back in August, but one clean sheet in six proves their defence is certainly breachable.

We think backing BTTS is a good bet here, with two dangerous attacks going head-to-head under the lights in Manchester.

Looking at the cards markets now, and we think tipping Joachim Andersen to be shown a card seems a valuable pick, with the Fulham skipper being tasked with keeping an in-form Erling Haaland quiet.

The Danish centre back has collected five Premier League bookings this term, all of which have come since December, and on a night where Man City are likely to have the majority of possession, Fulham will have a lot of defending to do. They may well sit deep to limit the space in behind, but with Haaland being such a handful for any defender, Andersen could easily be caught out.

Averaging a foul a game, he's never too far from the referee's attention, so we're predicting a Joachim Andersen yellow card here.

Bringing a close to our Man City vs Fulham preview and predictions, we're backing the in-form hosts to pick up another three points on their quest for a fifth Premier League title in six seasons.

Since losing the Manchester Derby at the start of January, City have won four out of five across all competitions, and Sunday's memorable victory over Liverpool could well set them on one of their unstoppable runs. Fulham are enjoying an excellent season under Marco Silva, but their recent wobble in form and their horrendous record against City suggests it would take a minor miracle for them to take anything back to London.

The title race is still well and truly on, and with Arsenal in their sights, we're backing City to claim another huge three points this week.
