History of the Manchester City v Fulham fixture

Fulham face a trip to Manchester City at City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 14 out of 21 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2004, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.

A creditable return from recent away games for Cottagers could well see them head back from City of Manchester Stadium with a share of the spoils, think the FootyMad panel. Score draw
