by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions
Manchester City are third in the Premier League but still with work to do this season. They travel to Fulham who are tenth in the Premier League and cannot qualify for European football next season. Can the Blues qualify for the Champions League? Here's our match prediction.
City have won 20 league games this season but that's eight fewer than last season when winning the title. They are third in the table and only a massive win at Craven Cottage and a heavy loss for Arsenal could see them finish second. Their sole aim this weekend is to confirm their place in next season's Champions League. A win will achieve that and so should a draw due to their vastly superior goal difference. Defeat though could be disastrous if other clubs win.
Fulham could finish as high as ninth if they can end their season with a win over Manchester City. That would not be good enough to take them into European football but it's been another solid season for the Cottagers.

Fulham - Manchester City: Form Analysis
Manchester City's bid to win a fourth successive Premier League title was hit by a terrible run of form in November and December. A run of five points from nine games was a disaster for them.
City are enjoying a strong end to their league season.
They are ending the season well though, despite losing last week's FA Cup final. The Citizens are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League games, most recently beating Bournemouth 3-1 in midweek. Over the last 20 league games, they are only behind Liverpool on goals scored with 41 points earned.
On the road, City have lost six league games this season. The last three have produced five points but they have only scored in one of their four previous away league matches. They won the reverse fixture against Fulham 3-2 last October.
Recent losses for Fulham have ended their European hopes.
Fulham were in with a chance of European football next season. However, they have lost four of their last six Premier League games. They did get a win last weekend though with a 3-2 victory at Brentford.
Home form has produced seven league wins but the last two have both ended in defeat.

Fulham & Manchester City Squad Analysis
Time for De Bruyne to say farewell.
It'll be an emotional game for Kevin De Bruyne. This will be his last Premier League game for Manchester City. With no sign of a deal for the FIFA Club World Cup, it looks like this will be his final farewell for the Blues.
John Stones will be missing for this game but Erling Haaland is fit to play. He is so important to City but has failed to score since making his return from injury. A welcome sight for City fans on Tuesday was the return of Rodri. He came on as a sub and will again start on the bench.
Nico Gonzalez is likely to again start and he scored in their win over Bournemouth in midweek. They will be without Mateo Koavic who was sent off against Bournemouth.
Fulham won last week at Brentford with two of their three goals coming from second-half substitutes. Harry Wilson again came on to become the hero and scored the winner. The 'super-sub' is likely to again start on the bench.
The Cottagers have no new injuries to report but will continue to be without several players including Harrison Reed and Reiss Nelson.

Our Fulham vs Manchester City Prediction
Not since 2009 have Manchester City lost to Fulham. They certainly don't want to be beaten by them this weekend as it could see them fail to qualify for the Champions League. A draw between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea would mean they qualify regardless of what happens at Craven Cottage.
City are unbeaten in their last nine league games and Fulham are having an inconsistent end to the season. Their record against City is appalling. Our main Fulham v Manchester City prediction is Manchester City to win.
