Manchester City will look to rubber-stamp a top-five finish in the Premier League by picking up all three points when they face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.
Pep Guardiola’s side bounced back from their FA Cup final disappointment last weekend with a 3-1 win over Bournemouth on Tuesday night.
That victory moved the Citizens up to third place in the standings ahead of the final round of top-flight action this weekend.
As such, Man City know that they remain masters of their own destiny when they make the trip south to the capital this weekend.
As for Fulham, they snapped a two-game losing run with a thrilling 3-2 win at Brentford last weekend, in a game that brought up both of my player-based selections.
Victory moved Marco Silva’s men back into the top half of the table ahead of their Craven Cottage curtain-closer with Champions League-chasing Man City.
How the bookies view it: City to seal the deal
Manchester City – who have won five of their last six Premier League matches – are short-priced 6/10 favourites on Boylesports.
Fulham are unfancied 15/4 underdogs on Boylesports, while an all square affair in West London has been chalked up at 16/5 with the same firm.

Head to head: History against the hosts
Fulham’s record against Man City makes for grim reading, failing to win each of their previous 19 top-flight showdowns with the Sky Blues. This season's reverse fixture finished 3-2 to Man City and another game featuring goals at both ends alongside over 2.5 goals holds plenty of appeal at 10/11 on Boylesports.
Players to watch: Marmoush to make his mark?
Omar Marmoush has put in a string of eye-catching displays since joining Man City in January, the most recent of which saw him score a wonder goal against Bournemouth in midweek. The Egyptian ace stands out for a goal or an assist on Sunday at 5/6 with PaddyPower.
Raul Jimenez has scored in each of Fulham’s last two Premier League matches. The Mexican forward is 5/2 on Boylesports to repeat the trick this weekend.
Predicted line-ups
Fulham are having to deal with an ever-growing injury list as the season draws to a close, with as many as four first-team players set to miss out on Sunday.
Man City will be without midfielder Mateo Kovacic after he received a red card against Bournemouth on Tuesday night, while John Stones is ruled out through injury.
Fulham: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Wilson, Smith-Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez
Man City: Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Gonzalez, Gundogan; Bernardo, De Bruyne, Marmoush; Haaland
Anything else catch the eye?
Look for Joachim Andersen to commit a minimum of one foul on Sunday afternoon at 4/5 on Bet 365.
The Fulham-defender has committed a combined total of three fouls across his last two Premier League appearances.
Given the quality of opposition Andersen will be up against this weekend, another misdemeanour from him here merits support.
