Fulham vs Manchester City: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Fulham vs Manchester City in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 19:30 GMT match.

• Fixture: Fulham vs Manchester City

• Date: Tuesday, 02 December 2025

• Kick-off: 19:30 GMT

• Venue: Craven Cottage

Fulham come into this match with a solid run of form, having secured three wins in their last five games. Their recent victories against Tottenham and Sunderland show they can hold their own against strong opposition. With a predicted 4-2-3-1 formation, they'll likely look to exploit the wings with Chukwueze and Iwobi, while Jiménez leads the line up top. This could pose a threat to Manchester City's defence, especially if they can capitalise on any lapses in concentration.

Manchester City, despite a couple of recent losses, remain a formidable force with three wins in their last five outings. Their home form has been particularly impressive, with strong victories over Leeds, Liverpool, and Bournemouth. With Haaland leading the attack and a powerful midfield trio of Reijnders, Doku, and González, they'll look to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities. However, they'll need to be wary of Fulham's counter-attacking threat.

Match Prediction: Fulham 1-3 Manchester City

Fulham have shown great resilience in their recent performances, securing three wins out of their last five matches. Their victories against Tottenham and Sunderland, both by narrow margins, demonstrate their ability to grind out results against tough opponents. However, losses to Everton and Newcastle highlight areas where they need to improve, particularly in away games. This mixed form should give them confidence but also a reminder to stay focused.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 2-1 vs Tottenham Hotspur (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Sunderland (H)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Everton (A)
• Win: 3-0 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Newcastle United (A)

Manchester City have had a strong run of form, winning three out of their last five games. Their home victories against Leeds, Liverpool, and Bournemouth in recent weeks show their dominance at the Etihad. However, losses to Newcastle and Aston Villa indicate they are not invincible, especially on the road. This should keep them motivated to perform well against Fulham and continue their push for the top.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 3-2 vs Leeds United (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Newcastle United (A)

• Win: 3-0 vs Liverpool (H)

• Win: 3-1 vs AFC Bournemouth (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Aston Villa (A)

The head-to-head record between Fulham and Manchester City shows a clear dominance by City, with five wins in their last five encounters. The most recent match saw Manchester City triumph 2-0 away at Fulham. The previous meetings also ended in convincing victories for City, including a 3-2 win at home and a 4-0 thrashing at Fulham. This pattern suggests that Manchester City have a strong psychological edge over Fulham.

• Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Tete (DF), Andersen (DF), Bassey (DF), Sessegnon (DF), Berge (MF), Iwobi (MF), Wilson (MF), King (MF), Chukwueze (MF), Jiménez (AT)

Fulham are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Leno in goal and a back four of Tete, Bassey, Andersen, and Sessegnon. The midfield duo of Iwobi and Berge will provide stability, allowing Wilson and Chukwueze to push forward and support Jiménez up top.

• Predicted lineup: Donnarumma (GK), Nunes (DF), Dias (DF), Gvardiol (DF), O'Reilly (DF), Reijnders (MF), González (MF), Foden (MF), Silva (MF), Doku (MF), Haaland (AT)

Manchester City will likely deploy a 4-3-2-1 formation, with Donnarumma between the sticks and a solid backline of Dias, Gvardiol, Nunes, and O'Reilly. The midfield trio of Reijnders, Foden, and González will control the game's tempo, while Silva and Doku will look to create chances for Haaland.

• Raul Jiménez vs Nico O'Reilly: Jiménez's physical presence and goal-scoring ability will be tested against O'Reilly's defensive prowess.

• Alex Iwobi vs Nico González: Iwobi's creativity and dribbling skills will face a stern test from González's tenacity and ball-winning ability.

• Samuel Chukwueze (Fulham): Chukwueze's pace and flair on the wing could be crucial in breaking down Manchester City's defence.

• Haaland (Manchester City): Haaland's goal-scoring prowess and physicality make him a constant threat to any defence.
