Match Preview:

Recently in a sports poll conducted by a leading newspaper Scott Parker was named as the worst manager in the Premier League. Considering that he has only been in charge for a few weeks at Fulham and came into a team with a lack of cohesion and confidence, naming him as the worst manager seems harsh.

The Cottagers have been in poor form with 5 straight defeats but they have given the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool a run for their money only losing those games 2-1. Of course the reality of the situation is that Fulham will be getting relegated this season, they are in 19^th and 13 points from safety and this weekend they will be facing the champions of England. All Fulham can do now is try to enjoy their football and make life frustrating for their opponents who really need the points.

Manchester City are two points behind Liverpool but have a game in hand. A win here could strike a psychological advantage to Pep Guardiola’s side who would go one point above Liverpool who have to play on Sunday.

City are on fire having won their last 5 consecutive games, away from home they have won 4 of their last 5 games, and they have the 3^rd best away record in the league where they are almost scoring on average 2 goals a game.
