With domination of Manchester City in Premier League and their good record against Fullham and they can beat Fullham again, even beating the opponent with bigger result than the last season.
They scored first by Julian Alvarez but a few minutes later, Fullham equalized the match. Will the last season results 2 - 1 for Manchester City be repeated again in this match?
Manchester City can create more pressure, more opportunities but will they score more goals, I don't know. Fullham looks to do their jobs well in this match and they can continue it till the final whistle.
I'm not going to say no, of course 2-1 is possible to repeat this season. Fulham tend to have good defense which is what is needed to make it difficult for Manchester City to score goals, but they are also quite dangerous on the counter-attack and also when they get to set pieces.
I didn't see Grealish in this match, so that's one of the flaws on the left wing. The Foden that came on to replace him wasn't very good on the left wing, but he was very good on the right. By placing Jeremy Doku on the left wing, Manchester City made Manchester City a little better in attacking, but Fulham's tight defense still made things difficult for Manchester City before Nathan Ake finally closed the first half with a 2-1 win.
Man City didn't play aggressively as usual, it seems that the tight defense played by Fulham was quite successful in reducing attacks from Man City. Playing as a guest, Fulham took the initiative to play defensive football and they did not hesitate to play rough to crush the Man City attack. For now, Man City is still leading 2-1, but I think it's not safe enough because Fulham could steal another goal from them.
