Fullham host Manchester City in the Premier League this afternoon and could have acrucial role ot play in the title race. Pep Guardiola’s side are hoping to become the first team to win the English top flight in four successive seasons and will jumo back into first place if they beat the Cottagers in Saturday’s early kick off.
They head into the weekend one point behind league leaders Arsenal but still control their own destiny with just three games left to play. The Gunners face a potentially difficult trip to Manchester United on Sunday and have played a game more than their title rivals.
In contrast, Fulham have secured their spot in the Premier League for next season and have little to play for at this stage of the season. With two games left to play they could potentially finish inside the top 10 but would need a heap of other results to also fall their way. Cottagers boss Marco Silva will want his side to finish the season strongly yet his mind will already be planning Fulham’s summer transfer plans.

Which Premier League sides qualify for Europe? What each team needs
As well as a dramatic title race and relegation scrap, the Premier League is heading for a frantic late scramble to decide the final European places this season – with several spots still up for grabs as we enter the final week of the campaign.
Aston Villa are in the driving seat to secure the fourth Champions League place, in what would be a stunning achievement for Unai Emery’s side. But Tottenham Hotspur are still mathematically in with a shout, even if a poor run of form for Ange Postecoglou’s side has Spurs looking over their shoulders as well.
Manchester United, meanwhile, suddenly face competition for sixth, as both Newcastle United and Chelsea enjoy resurgent ends to difficult campaigns. So, with a week of the season to go, here’s how the battle for the final European places is shaping up.
