Match facts
Head-to-head
Manchester City's current run of 16 successive wins against Fulham in all competitions is the longest ever recorded by one English league side against another.
Fulham are winless in 18 league matches against City (D3, L15), though three of their four Premier League wins in this fixture have come at the Etihad Stadium - in 2006, 2008 and 2009.
City have won, and scored, a penalty in each of the past six Premier League meetings, the longest such run in the competition’s history.
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s side have played back-to-back top-flight fixtures without a win for the first time since March.
But they are unbeaten in 29 league matches (W23, D6), one shy of equalling a club record set between April 2017 and January 2018.
Manchester City are also undefeated in 49 home games in all competitions since losing to Brentford in November 2022 (W40, D9), with last season’s Champions League exit to Real Madrid on penalties classified as a draw.
The only English top-flight teams to avoid defeat in at least 50 consecutive home matches in league and cup are Liverpool (85 games between 1978-1981), Chelsea (74, 2006-2008 and 58, 2004-2006) and Sunderland (50, 1890-1893).
City have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight consecutive Premier League home games, one shy of a club record set in 2015.
Pep Guardiola has won each of his 11 matches as a manager against Fulham in all competitions, with City scoring 33 goals and conceding just four in those fixtures.
Erling Haaland has scored 60 goals in 52 games in all competitions at the Etihad Stadium and is already the fourth highest scorer since the venue opened in 2003.
Kyle Walker could make his 400th Premier League appearance.
Fulham
The Londoners have won back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since March and are unbeaten in five matches (W3, D2) – they have not had a longer undefeated top-flight run since February 2021.
They are vying to record consecutive top-flight clean sheets for the first time since last December.
Fulham and Liverpool are the only clubs yet to concede more than once in a Premier League game this season.
Marco Silva has lost all 10 of his Premier League matches against Manchester City, a record for most games as a manager against a particular opponent without picking up a single point.
Raul Jimenez has scored nine goals in his past 10 league starts and has netted in three consecutive Premier League games for the second time in his career.
Jimenez has scored all eight penalties he’s taken in the Premier League; only Yaya Toure (11 of 11), Cole Palmer (10 of 10) and Dimitar Berbatov (nine of nine) have netted more without missing in the competition’s history.
Andreas Pereira has created 20 chances in the top flight this season, second only to Dwight McNeil.
