Manchester City have been utterly rampant at the Etihad this season, averaging 4.5 goals per game in their six home wins, and that spells trouble for Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
City struggled to create many big openings at Leicester last weekened but they are a different beast on their home turf and their prospects of racking of another big score are enhanced further by the likely return of Erling Haaland, who has missed the last two games.
City are just 1/9 with Betfred to get the three points that would take them back to the top of the Premier League while Fulham are 16/1 to cause the upset.
That City price isn't going to entice many casual punters but there much better betting angles into this game, notably via goals.
Fulham's average xGA of 2.04 is the worst in the league and it's a number that explains why, despite having scored more goals than the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea, that they have a goal difference of zero.
Overall, Fulham are flying high. Very few newly promoted sides sit as high as seventh in the Premier League a third of the way into the season but that's where Marco Silva's side find themselves on the back of a four-game unbeaten run. They racked up a host of decent chances against a resilient Everton last weekend but it was just one of those nights for Fulham, something which can happen to any side.
Only Harry Kane has scored more Premier League goals this term than Aleksandar Mitrovic and make no mistake, Fulhan head to the Etihad carrying a huge goal threat.
Man City vs Fulham prediction
Goals look very much the order of the day here. The even money about both teams to score (yes) is a rock-solid punt but we can enhance that to 11/8 by combining it with a Manchester City win. That's has to be the way to go.
