Manchester City will look to extend a record-breaking run when they host Fulham at the Etihad Stadium this morning.
Pep Guardiola’s side have won their last 19 meetings in all competitions against the Cottagers, which is the longest winning streak one club has had over another in English football history.
In the Premier League alone, City have beaten Fulham 16 consecutive times, another league record.
Erling Haaland will once again be central to City’s charge; the Norwegian striker has been involved in 10 goals in just seven Premier League appearances against Fulham, scoring seven and assisting three.
Fulham’s recent visits to the Etihad have been particularly punishing, with eight straight away league defeats and an aggregate score of 25–4.
However, three of their four Premier League wins over City have come at this ground, offering a slim historical boost.
Second-placed City cannot afford a slip in the title race, while 12th-placed Fulham face the daunting task of ending one of English football’s most dominant head-to-head streaks.
City takes on Fulham at 7.30am.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa will face Brighton and Nottingham Forest take on Wolves at 7.30am.
Crystal Palace will be up against Burnley at 7.40am, while Sunderland face Liverpool at 8.15am.
