Manchester City, onTuesdaynight, beat Bournemouth 3-1 in their last Premier League fixture at home for this season.
The win leaves Pep Guardiola’s men in a strong position to finish third and secure Champions League football.
As it stands, City along with Chelsea, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are all battling for three spots, which will be determined onSunday.
City’s win takes them on 68 points, two more than both Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa. Forest are one point further back.
A win at Fulham will guarantee City third position, while their decent goal difference means a draw may even be enough. A loss might even be enough, but it would open the door for their rivals.
Newcastle are in fourth spot and will host Everton. A win will keep the Magpies in the Champions League spots and a draw could be enough, but it could allow those below them to take advantage.
Chelsea currently occupy fifth spot and are away to Nottingham Forest, who have only lost four times at home this season. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side need to win. If so, they would leapfrog the Blues, but they would still need Villa to slip up if they were to jump from seventh to fifth.
