Manchester City have won each of their last 18 meetings with Fulham, scoring 54 goals, unbeaten in 24 meetings overall. The Cottagers' most-recent victory over the Sky Blues came in April 2009, as part of their great escape, last beating them in West London in 2005.
Fulham vs Manchester City preview
Can Manchester City close the gap at the top of the table? On Saturday, the Sky Blues appeared set to swat Leeds United aside at the Etihad, with Phil Foden breaking the deadlock inside 60 seconds, before Joško Gvardiol added a second soon after. However, Leeds fought back, making it 2-2 so seemingly set to pinch a point, only for Foden to fire home the winner in injury time. That made it six successive home league wins for Pep Guardiola's team, albeit in very unconvincing fashion.
On the road meantime, the Citizens have already lost three times in the Premier League this season, including their last two away games at Aston Villa and Newcastle. Victory here though would see Man City would move to within just two points of leaders Arsenal, ahead of their clash with Brentford on Wednesday, so will the Sky Blues claim a 19th sucessive victory against Fulham?
As for the home side, they claimed a memorable and much-needed victory on Saturday night, targeting another here. At the weekend, Fulham found themselves 2-0 inside six minutes at Tottenham, with Kenny Tete breaking the deadlock before Harry Wilson spectacularly curled into an unguarded net from the touchline. Spurs did fight back and halve the deficit on the hour mark, but Fulham held on to claim their first away win of the season.
Overall, following a sequence of four successive defeats, the Cottagers have won three of their last four, previously enjoying wins over Wolves and Sunderland, both at home. In fact, only Arsenal have left Craven Cottage victorious this season, so can the Whites become the latest side to scupper Manchester City's title hopes in this mid-week clash on the banks of the River Thames?

Fulham team news
Saša Lukić was a surprise exclusion from the starting lineup as Spurs, but will surely return here, adding some much-needed steel to midfield, with Josh King the most-likely man to make way.
Elsewhere, Antonee Robinson and Rodrigo Muniz remain sidelined, while Samu Chukwueze's pace made him extremely dangerous on the counter-attack at Tottenham, meaning he will be a threat.
Fulham predicted lineup vs Manchester City: (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Lukić, Wilson, Iwobi, Chukwueze; Jiménez.
Fulham player to watch vs Manchester City
Raúl Jiménez has three goals to his name this season, previously netting against Manchester City on two occasions for Wolves, so could the Mexican be the Fulham hero here?
Manchester City team news
Pep Guardiola remains without Rodri and Mateo Kovačić, meaning Nico González will keep his place at the base of midfield.
Elsewhere, Guardiola made ten changes against Bayer Leverkusen last Tuesday but, considering they were beaten 2-0, is not likely to make that mistake again.
Tijjani Reijnders was the only player to earn his place in the lineup following the Champions League defeat, displacing Rayan Cherki, but who will get the nod this time? Lastly, Bernardo Silva and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma would both miss Saturday's clash with Sunderland if booked.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Fulham: (4-1-4-1): Donnarumma; Nunes, Rúben Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly; Nico, Reijnders, Foden, Silva, Doku; Håland.
Manchester City player to watch vs Fulham
Erling Braut Håland has 19 goals to his name this season, bagging six in six meetings with Fulham, looking to increase both tallies in West London.
Fulham vs Manchester City prediction
We cannot see beyond a Manchester City victory at Craven Cottage because, put simply, the Sky Blues always beat Fulham, a fact that's unlikely to change on Tuesday: Fulham 1-3 Manchester City.
