Fulham vs Manchester City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Follow live coverage as Fulham face Manchester City today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

With 15 minutes to go before kick-off, let’s take a look at how the two sides are lining up - starting with our hosts!
Fulham vs Manchester City
Manchester City’s season to forget comes to an end on the banks of the Thames, where they can secure Champions League qualification ahead of next year with a single point. Pep Guardiola’s team bounced back from their shock FA Cup defeat to Crystal Palace with a thumping 3-1 win over Bournemouth in midweek, which puts them in control of their destiny on matchweek 38. Taking any points at all from Craven Cottage would guarantee a place in Europe’s elite competition, while a loss would leave the door open for Newcastle United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa.
Fulham vs Manchester City
Fulham ended a two-match losing run last weekend with an entertaining 3-2 victory over Brentford, which saw the Cottagers score twice in two second-half minutes to overturn a deficit. Finishing their campaign in front of the home supporters, there won’t be much jeopardy for Marco Silva’s team today, who can finish as high as ninth with a victory and dropped points from Brentford - or as low as 12th should Bournemouth and Crystal Palace better their result at Craven Cottage.
