This season's Premier League can be split into a series of battles between groups of teams with different goals. There are three teams within two points of each other hoping to win the title - Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. There is the race to finish fourth in order to compete in next season's lucrative Champions League, and this is between Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa. There are the teams that harbour goals of reaching the Europa League, such as Birmingham, Everton, Fulham and Stoke. Every other team seems to just be trying to survive, but the relegation scrap always makes for captivating viewing.
This Saturday sees two of the more ambitious teams clash; Roy Hodgson's progressive Fulham side take on nouveau riche club Manchester City, and it looks set to be a classic. The West London side are in the middle of a hectic run which includes matches against Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham and Juventus (twice) all in the space of 25 days, and with a tepid draw against Spurs followed by two convincing losses to Manchester United and Juventus, their form looks to be stuttering.
Manchester City have been as inconsistent as anyone this season, and though their last visit to West London resulted in a barnstorming 4-2 success at Chelsea, who are notoriously strong at home, they followed it up with a rather insipid draw at Sunderland, where only the introduction of Adam Johnson brought impetus to the side. There were many damning statistics after the Sunderland match, but one that stands out is Shaun Wright-Phillips' 47% pass completion - shocking for an England international. They still ought to be the favourites to claim the fourth Champions League place, with games in hand on all their rivals, but with Mancini seemingly unsure of his best side and prone to first half substitutions, this game looks far too difficult to call.
There are still tickets left for this mouthwatering clash, and we have the cheapest available to compare and buy from official sellers!
