Team Analysis
Manchester City enters this match with a need to regain form after failing to win their last two Premier League outings, drawing with Arsenal and Newcastle. Despite these setbacks, they recently bounced back with a convincing win in the Champions League against Slovan Bratislava. City faces some injury challenges, missing key players like Rodri, Oscar Bobb, Kevin De Bruyne, and Nathan Ake. However, they remain a formidable side at home, driven by Pep Guardiola's tactical prowess.

Fulham is performing above expectations, currently sitting in the top six after seven rounds. Their recent victory over Nottingham Forest showcased their ability to secure results. The team under Marco Silva has been playing attractive attacking football, although they will be without Carlos Vinicius due to injury. Fulham has been strong on the road and aims to maintain their form against top-tier opponents.

Head-to-Head
Manchester City has a dominant record against Fulham, winning their last 16 encounters. Fulham's last success against City was in 2011, and recent meetings have seen City win comfortably, with scores like 5-1 and 4-0.

Prediction
Given City's historical dominance over Fulham and their need to return to winning ways in the league, they are expected to secure a win with a handicap of -1.5. Although Fulham is performing well, they have yet to face a title contender this season, which makes this a challenging fixture. The prediction suggests a 3-1 victory for Manchester City, with City expected to score at least two goals and the match featuring over 10.5 corners.

Pick: Manchester City -1.5
