Re: Fulham v Manchester City > Saturday December 21st Last time when Man City kept a clean sheet against Fulham at Craven Cottage was back in December 2002. Since then both teams have scored. I expect Rene to do a good job at Fulham and guide them to safety this season. His first win was at home against Aston Villa and then they lost away to high-flying Everton which is no shame by any means. With Berbatov back in form I think Fulham can score at least one goal.

Re: Fulham v Manchester City > Saturday December 21st CIty dont really have a right back for this game(zabaleta and richards are out). City have struggled defensively on the road this season so if they struggle it will be in the backs of their minds. City will have to change their style of play a little for this game as Aguero is missing. Fulham are improving under their new manager, and have a better system than they did under Jol. I think their is potential for an upset here and have laid city at 1.4 on betfair.

Re: Fulham v Manchester City > Saturday December 21st Fulham - Manchester City * In 22 Premier League games against Manchester City, Fulham managed to keep their goal intact only once and never in 18 previous matches * Manchester City have won 6 of their last 9 games against Fulham in all competitions without losing once * Fulham have won just one home game of the Premier League against Manchester City from 11 (=5-5) * Fulham striker Darren Bent scored against Manchester City 7 goals in the Premier League. Only to Bolton he scored more (11) * Fulham lost 7 of the previous 8 league games * If we take into account only the results of away games , Manchester City with 8 recruited points would occupy only the 11th place in the Premier League (!) * Manchester City gets an average of 7.6 per game shots on target this season, but if you take away matches , this figure is lower - hitting the target 5.3 per match * 53 % of their goals this season Fulham were scored after set pieces - the highest percentage in the Premier League * Alvaro Negredo scored in only one of seven previous away matches for Manchester City in the Premier League * In 22 matches, Premier League match between Fulham and Manchester City have been no red card. In England there is no confrontation, in which it would be played more matches without a single red card shown (!). In second place in this ranking the pair Coventry - Southampton , which held in the highest division of English 18 matches without deletion(s). How many consecutive games a team can demonstrate a fantastic game and score to their rivals at least 3 goals ? Answers may be different, and probably many people can cite the example of Barcelona or Bayern , and thus argue that it is possible throughout the season. In our case we will focus on Manchester City and theyr accomplishments in recent matches , as well as about the upcoming match with Fulham. Brilliant series of matches , which issued a team in the national championship and the Champions League is really worthy of admiration and applause. Hard to imagine , but the team in the last six matches to chop their opponents 22 goals and won more than convincing victories in five of them. It should be mentioned that were defeated clubs such as Bayern Munich , Arsenal, Tottenham , Swansea and West Bromwich Albion. Needless to say last year's champion of England broke no joke and if the team will keep winning rhythm performances , it will claim the championship quite feasible in this season. But in any case we must not forget that this is the championship of England and here anadromous matches just does not happen. And it should relax a bit "the citizens , as retribution inevitably follow. Over cast current City may well be attributed to the grandees of world football. Actually collected various school football stars with a very vast geography. But still , if you carefully analyze the team's performance throughout the season , it can be seen as one important detail , which subsequently can be very effective at the final segment of the championship. We are talking about what the team can not , properly, tune into the game with rivals that are not for her large stimul and tend to be in these games very often loses the desired credits. Proven fact and can not be questioned. That's happened in recent matches confirmation: heroically defeated Bayern (2:3) , and at the same time held a dull game with Southampton (1:1). In which of these matches was shown to-date on the current period level of the game is to understand the coach Pellegrini , and for football fans this is another signal that the team regularly performs unconvincing and losing points. For lovers of bets such factors should be considered instability. It is possible that an away match with Fulham will be for Manchester City another failed , because this team few days ago had to match with Leicester in Cup, where the action starts syndrome complacency. Perhaps these analytical thinking and not be translated into reality, but set without regard to the victory City is extremely dangerous. Such games are inherent, unstable teams that involve many star names. Given all the above , the match Fulham - Man City bets bookmakers offer fans choose the most passable version of the definition of "both to score" although begs for 1X and less productive match. Generally , somehow strange to see keep 1.40 to win City when he has in eight away matches just 2 wins. And even more - such for Manchester City Individual Total Under 2.5 Goals at 1.70 WilliamHill. In any case , even if Melestene team lost 2 of 3 matches, progress is being made - Fulham no longer play bad matches , shows a good game content. And vs Tottenham , Everton the team looked great and enough of a point . Players are given 100% , and it's pretty great players , because I'm sure - the result will come soon. Even thought about how to give a forecast for the 1X , but then changed his mind - still give something more reliable , albeit smaller odds. Now, with new coach Melestene , appeared in defense discipline , and 4 goals against Everton I tend to think coincidence. Fulham played there is no worse and did not deserve such a heavy defeat. So Fulham , despite its low position in the table and eight defeats in the last 9 games , ready to pull the nerves of the favorite - I do not doubt it. But once we bid on less than 3 goals for the guests, it is necessary to analyze guests. Manchester City , as I said , have won just two wins in eight away matches - it is said that the team , despite his class, in away matches systematically messy. Over 2.5 goals City scored, only 2 of 8 trips this season. Who thinks this little distance , here the distance of last season - 19 away matches, and only 2 of 19 trips Manchester City scored over 2.5 goals . In his championship season , if you're wondering City scored over 2.5 goals in 6 of 19 visits , but even this , record statistics for the citizens , still indicates that on IT City Under 2.5- its value. In addition, once talked about the statistics the citizens scored over 2.5 goals in only 1 of the last 5 visits to visit Fulham. Another plus sign to the forecast. Increases the likelihood of passage of this selection, injury Aguero. Top scorer not playing. Of course , there is someone to score, but with Aguero townspeople would definitely be dangerous. So I do not believe that the chances of an unstable and not very productive in attack outbound City to score 3 or more goals against the focused, motivated and showing good football under new coach Fulham side. Man City not often hit IT Over 2.5 away games , the more it without Aguero , especially rival now looks more interesting than it should be based on the standings. Odds so because of the high cost effectiveness City in home games , but away it - is quite another matter. Very strongly believe in this prediction because I put 8/10.
