In the 26th round of the English Premier League on February 11, 2026, Manchester City will play Fulham. Chasing the title, the hosts are expected to win here.
The giants had no notable achievements last year: they finished only third in the EPL, lost in the cup final, and did not succeed in other tournaments. This season, they managed to reach the top 8 in the Champions League and confidently advanced to the play-offs in the League Cup domestically. However, in the EPL, their own missteps did not allow them to catch up with Arsenal, who lost momentum in January. Among other things, they failed to beat Tottenham, but did come out on top against Liverpool, finishing 2-1 with a numerical advantage.
The capital club in 2024/2025 confirmed their status as a solid mid-table team, but not aiming for much more: 54 points and eleventh place. For now, they are still close to the European qualification zone, but the competition in the Premier League is tight. Even against recent opponents, Man United and Everton, they let draws slip away by conceding decisive goals late on.
Haaland and his teammates are rightly challenging for the league lead: they average 2.04 goals scored and 0.96 conceded per game. Marco Silva’s side has nearly equal goal figures: 1.40 scored and 1.48 conceded per match.
