Fulham face a massive task at Man City

3pm Saturday

If there is a good time to play the top teams it could be now, just after the international break and just before the Champions League group stage begins. But even under these circumstances Fulham face a difficult task.

The Cottagers do not look like a side who can shut up shop, so they might as well play their normal game and look to hurt the hosts.

A goal for the visitors is a strong possibility but Man City are a stronger attacking force and should take the points.

Recommendation
Man City win & both teams score
