JUMP TO:
ETIHAD STADIUM, MANCHESTER — Manchester City will look to apply pressure on leaders Arsenal in the Premier League title race when they host Fulham on Wednesday.
City claimed a dramatic late comeback win when they beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday and ensure the gap to Arsenal remained at six points.
Pep Guardiola’s men will aim to halve that on home turf, with Arsenal not back in action until they travel to in-form Brentford on Thursday.
Fulham have just one win in their past four Premier League matches and were on the wrong end of a pulsating 5-4 defeat in the reverse fixture at Craven Cottage in December.
