With the UEFA Champions League spot on the stake, Manchester City will face Fulham at Craven Cottage in a high-stake thriller on Sunday.
Fulham are coming off a fresh 3-2 victory over Brentford last weekend. The hosts missed out on the potential top-eight finish this season with their inconsistent performance throughout the season. However, Fulham’s resilient performance at their home could pose a threat to Pep Guardiola’s Man City who are fighting for a UEFA Champions League spot.
Meanwhile, Manchester City will be arriving at Craven Cottage after beating 3-1 AFC Bournemouth at Etihad Stadium last time out. Man City can grab a UEFA Champions League spot if they beat Fulham on the final day of the Premier League season. With 68 points from 37 matches, the visitors are comfortably sitting in 3rd spot of the EPL leaderboard.
