This Thursday for the eighth finals of the Carabao Cup one of the candidates to win the title of the tournament as Manchester City is waiting for the visit of Fulham, in play to be played at Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City:
Those led by Pep Guardiola are showing why they are the current English Premier League champions, when at the beginning of the week they won at Wembley Stadium at Tottenham Hotspur by 0-1, thanks to the early goal by Riyad Mahrez and thus not only They added their third consecutive victory in all competitions, but they remain at the top of the Premier League with 26 points, sharing the box with Liverpool, which is the team he has not been able to win in the last eight games, after a lukewarm goalless draw at Anfield.
The best of these results, is that the city cast recovered from that defeat by the UEFA Champions League at home to Olympique Lyon, since the next eight games, seven ended in victories, where they scored a total of 21 goals, and although for this commitment there will not be many players that were part of those annotations such as Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne, it must be said that Manchester City has plenty of squad to supply these absences.
Fulham:
Meanwhile, the performance of those led by Slavia Jokanovic is not the best, so the Cottagers come to lose at home 0-3 against AFC Bournemouth and thus added their fourth consecutive defeat that place him in the 18th position of the English Premier League with five points in ten games, and so they are in the red zone.
One of the main problems of Fulham is its poor defensive block, which has received fifteen goals in these last four commitments and if we want to be more extensive we must say that Fulham has received 28 goals so far this season in the Premier League, making it the worst defense of the season and against one of the best offenses, because it does not look good at all.
The game this Thursday will be the second of the season among these teams, the first was in September for the current season 2018/19 English Premier League and the triumph as expected was Manchester City with a win of 3-0, with this victory the city dwellers add a streak of six consecutive victories over the Cottagers, and in this series of games city dwellers scored a total of 19 goals for just three received.
