Manchester City's incredible Anfield comeback has given their Premier League title hopes a shot in the arm but it will count for nothing if they fail to follow it up with another win at home to Fulham.
It looked like Arsenal had one hand on the trophy on Sunday evening when City trailed 1-0 against Liverpool with just six minutes to play.
But two late goals sealed an unlikely victory that moved Pep Guardiola's men six points behind the Gunners heading into the business end of the season.
City will need to keep winning if they're to overhaul the leaders and they can't afford to drop any points in fixtures like this.
Fulham's revival has hit the skids in recent weeks, with Marco Silva's men losing three of their last four Premier League matches.
But they should have taken at least two points from their last two games with Manchester United and Everton, conceding heartbreaking late goals in each encounter.
The Cottagers have players who can hurt City so Guardiola's men will need to be at their best to get three more precious points on the board.
How the bookies view it: City strong favourites
The bookies reckon that Anfield win will send belief soaring at City, with Guardiola's side a best 3/8 at Betway. Fulham are 8/1 rank outsiders with Bet365 and the draw pays 17/4 at BetMGM.
Recent head to head: Another nine-goal thriller?
The Cottagers have a terrible record in this fixture, losing the last 19 meetings. But they came close to ending that horror run at Craven Cottage earlier this season, battling back from 5-1 down to come up just short in a 5-4 defeat.
Players to watch: Haaland back in the groove
Guardiola will also be hoping Anfield is a turning point for Erling Haaland, who has looked out of sorts in recent weeks. The big man set up the leveller against Liverpool then scored the winner from the spot so his confidence will be up.
He's just 3/4 at BetMGM to score but backing Haaland for two or more goals boosts the odds to 5/2 at Betfred.
Harry Wilson is having an incredible season for Fulham, although he let me down after I backed him for a goal or assist against Everton on Saturday. The same bet pays 14/5 at BetMGM for this one but I'm more drawn to the 11/10 on offer at Bet365 for him to have an effort on target.
Probable line-ups
Guardiola looks set to be without Jeremy Doku, Savinho, Josko Gvardiol, John Stones and Mateo Kovacic again.
Silva's squad has a cleaner bill of health, with only midfielders Sasa Lukic and Tom Cairney doubts.
Manchester City: Donnarumma, Ait-Nouri, Dias, Guehi, Nunes, Rodri, Reijnders, Foden, Cherki, Semenyo, Haaland.
Fulham: Leno, Tete, Bassey, Andersen, Robinson, Berge, Chukwueze, Iwobi, Kevin, Wilson, Jimenez.
Anything else catch the eye?
After that Craven Cottage slugfest earlier in the season, we should see goals here and backing over 3.5 strikes pays 11/8 at Unibet.
City should be too strong for Silva's side after that weekend morale boost and backing to be winning at half-time and full-time could be worth a punt at evens with Bet365.
I'm expecting Guardiola's side to have most of the pressure and the corner count could rack up for them. BetVictor are offering 23/20 on City -4 in the corner handicap.
