  May 25, 2025   Fulham - Manchester City   Craven Cottage, London On Sunday, May 25, 2025, an important match between Fulham and Manchester City at Craven Cottage will conclude matchday 38 of the Premier League. While the home side Fulham will want to end the season with a positive result, for the Citizens it will be a crucial duel in the battle for Champions League qualification. Fulham are winless in 19 Premier League meetings with Man City (D3 L16), losing the last 14 in a row. Their last victory was in April 2009 at the Etihad Stadium under Roy Hodgson.

  April 19, 2025 Everton - Manchester City Goodison Park will crackle with anticipation this Saturday as a rejuvenated Everton side under the returning David Moyes welcomes title-chasing Manchester City to Merseyside. Despite City's recent dominance in this fixture, the form guide suggests we could be in for a much closer contest than many would have predicted just months ago. Everton's transformation since Moyes returned to the dugout in January has been remarkable. The Toffees have lost just twice in the Scotsman's 13 Premier League games at the helm, a record bettered only by title contenders Liverpool and Arsenal (one defeat each) during this period. With 21 points collected under his guidance, Moyes has steered the club away from relegation fears toward mid-table security. "Coming back to Everton felt like coming home," Moyes told reporters at his pre-match press conference. "The players have responded brilliantly to what we've asked of them, but...

  Manchester City – Leicester City April 2nd, 2025 Etihad Stadium will be the venue for a clash of enormous contrasts. Manchester City dominates English football, while Leicester is experiencing one of the worst seasons in its history. The visiting Foxes have the fewest shots (262) and expected goals (25.8) in the entire Premier League, while the home Citizens rank second in shooting attempts (466), only behind Liverpool. The head-to-head record clearly favors the defending champions. Citizens have won nine of the last ten league duels with Leicester, including the last six in a row with an impressive overall score of 15:4. Interestingly, none of the 12 matches that Leicester has played in the Premier League at Manchester City's ground has ended in a draw (5 Leicester wins, 7 City wins). Etihad Stadium is synonymous with goal feasts for these teams. Ten mutual matches at this stadium have produced a respectable 43 goals (City 25, Leicester 18), which means more than 4 goals pe...
