Manchester City have won each of their last 16 meetings with Fulham in all competitions, the longest winning streak that one English league side has had against another in history.

Three of Fulham’s four Premier League wins against Manchester City came at the Etihad Stadium (2006, 2008 and 2009). However, they are winless in their last 18 against them in the league (D3 L15), losing each of the last 13 in a row.

Manchester City have won a penalty in each of the last six Premier League meetings with Fulham, the longest streak any side has had against the other in the competition’s history. The Citizens have scored all six of these penalties in this series.

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 49 home games in all competitions (W40 D9) since a 2-1 defeat to Brentford in November 2022. They would be the fourth English top-flight team after Liverpool to reach 50+ at home without defeat. (85 between 1978-1981), Chelsea (74, 2006-2008 and 58, 2004-2006) and Sunderland (50, 1890-1893).

Man City are unbeaten in their last 29 Premier League games (W23 D6), and if they avoid defeat in this match it will equal their longest run without defeat in their league history (30 games between April 2017 and January 2018).

Since losing their first Premier League game of the season 1-0 at Man Utd, Fulham are now unbeaten in their last five (W3 D2). They last had a longer run without defeat in the league between August and October 2010 (7).

Man City have drawn their last two Premier League games, despite opening the scoring in both matches (2-2 against Arsenal, 1-1 against Newcastle). The last time they failed to win three consecutive league games, despite scoring first in each competition, was in December/January in 2003-04 (D2 L1).

Erling Haaland has scored 60 goals in just 52 games in all competitions at the Etihad Stadium for Manchester City. He is already the fourth top scorer on the field since it opened in 2003.

If he plays, it will be Man City defender Kyle Walker’s 400th Premier League game, the 44th other player to reach the milestone. Whatever the outcome in this game, Walker would have the joint highest win percentage of any player with 400 appearances in the league (64%, equal to Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville).

Only Dwight McNeil (21) has created more chances than Fulham’s Andreas Pereira in the Premier League this season (20). Five of these chances fell to Rodrigo Muniz, who has had more shots on target without scoring than any other player in the Premier League so far this season (5).
