Analysis
Manchester City maintain a marginal edge despite Fulham's recent tactical improvements and defensive resilience. City's ball retention and creation quality typically overwhelm mid-table opposition, but Fulham's organized structure and counter-threat prevent this from being a clear favorite scenario. Expect a competitive midfield battle with City creating more clear-cut chances.
