Fulham vs Manchester City​: TV channel information plus how to watch live stream online

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at Craven Cottage

The return of the Premier League following the international break begins with Manchester City's visit to Fulham.

Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to leapfrog first-place Liverpool in west London, sitting two points behind the Reds in the table but with a game in hand after their involvement in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

City, who are on a run of 11 consecutive wins in all competitions, will be confident of retaking the lead in the title race, with Liverpool, who take on Spurs this weekend, not in action until Sunday.

Fulham meanwhile sit in 19th and look increasingly likely to go down after collecting just 17 points from 31 games, with their winless run extending as far back as January in all competitions.

That form, which includes seven straight defeats and just four goals scored, has left Scott Parker's side s 13 points off Burnley in 17th.

Draw: 19/2

Prediction…

Fulham 0-3 Manchester City

Recent results and the league table in general suggest City will win this at a canter.

Guardiola has had a number of his stars performing at their best in recent weeks, and that was before the return of Kevin de Bruyne, Vincent Kompany, Fernandinho and John Stones to training this week.

Meanwhile, Fulham are in dire straits, and their inability to muster a draw from either the Chelsea or Liverpool game has seen allowed fellow strugglers to take advantage and extend the gap between the London club and safety.

If the likes of Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane maintain the goalscoring form with England and Germany recently, this will be a comfortable victory for City.
