MANCHESTER CITY vs FULHAM (EPL)

<1.70> <3.30> <4.20>

A resurgent Manchester City plays a struggling Fulham who could not beat Liverpool's second string, or even force a draw. Against Pompey, Martin Petrov, Benjani and Vassell looked very dangerous and I see them piling on the misery over Fulham, who offer hardly anything upfront with the likes of Healy and McBride to trouble Man City. Man City have everything to play for as they look to secure a UEFA Cup place and will go all out to win this one.

- Roland's prediction: $5 on Man City @ 1.70 = $8.50

well, team news ahead of this match shows man city's defence in absolute tatters. micah richards and nedum onuoha are already missing, and now it seems richard dunne might join the list. man city beat pompey last week with a huge slice of luck and a numerical advantage when hermann hreidarsson was sent off. they looked far from convincing, so a wager on fulham or a draw might be worth considering. the only way they can avoid relegation is to get all 3 points here, but man city's strength in attack might limit them to a point. i say put $5 on both options, and then cross your fingers real tight. brian mcbride has the quality to punish a makeshift city defence, so going for fulham to record their second away win in 438 matches is worth a shot.

- Eddy's prediction: $5 on draw @ 3.30 = $16.50
$5 on fulham @ 4.30 = $21.00
