EPL Matchday 15 Features Manchester City vs Fulham at City's Home Ground

City Is Looking to Reach the Top of the Table and Will Not Want to Leave Any Loose Ends

Manchester City want to defend the title at all costs. And if they achieve it, it would be their third consecutive crown.

So far this season, they have performed excellently in the Premier League. As of the eighth matchday, they have five wins, two draws, and zero losses.

These results are helping them to maintain a good position, but it is not the one they want. So if they are going to get on top, they will have to get the better of other teams who covet first place just as much as they do.

But there’s no reason they can’t do so. Their scoring streak is phenomenal, with a total of 23 goals scored up until their last game against the Wolves. Of those goals, 14 were scored at home, which is where they’ll be for this Manchester City vs Fulham game.

We should also note that their new signing, Erling Haaland, is proving to be worth every penny they invested in him. So far, he has scored 11 of those 23 goals. He is then followed by teammates Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, and Julian Alvarez, with two goals each.

Fulham’s Run in the Premiership Has Not Always Been Successful, but They Are Looking To Hold Onto Their Spot

Fulham’s difficulty in holding onto its spot in the Premier League has been due to its problems adapting to the demands of the English top flight.

This season Fulham has started off well, even if it is stumbling from time to time. However, if they are to hold onto their spot in the top flight, they cannot afford these luxuries in a competition that gives no respite.

Their biggest fault, no doubt, is in their defensive play, where they continually fail to close out opportunities against strong attacks by opposing sides. This often happens when they get a sniff of a win and start conceding space which opens them up to getting hit with a goal by the opposing side.

These failures have and will continue to hurt them, especially in a match like Manchester City vs Fulham, where the opponent knows perfectly well how to set up attacks with accurate passes and counterattacks and to take advantage of its rivals’ weaknesses.
