This week is an opportunity for Manchester City to take the lead from Arsenal. Because they are going to have a really comfortable home game against Fulham. I know that Fulham are not one of the teams to be underestimated normally. But as for Manchester City, Fulham are a much weaker team anyway.
Maybe Fulham might have a bigger chance if they played home. But I don't expect them to get any point in Etihad. Haaland is expected to return tomorrow finally. But I don't know if he would be fit enough to be in the starting eleven. Even if he doesn't play or enters late in the game, they should still be the winner here.
When the match between Arsenal and Chelsea has been played and Arsenal lost to Chelsea, Manchester City win theirs against Fulham. That is the time Manchester City will lead the premier league table. If it doesn't happen that way, Arsenal will still be in the number one position.
Football matches can give a shocking results. Don't be surprised if Fulham wins over Manchester City at their home game.
