The pressure is put on Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini as he leads Manchester City to host arch rival Fulham at Etihad Stadium, Manchester on Saturday, 4th February 2012 during the English Premier League 2011-2012 season.
Man City’s 1-0 defeat away to Everton on Tuesday night has opened up a title race with neighbours Manchester United who shares the same 54 points on the standing. Manchester City needs to grind out a victory against Fulham as they must keep winning to relieve the pressure on themselves and put it back on United and third-placed Tottenham. Otherwise, Manchester City’s failure to beat Fulham on Saturday will allow United to go clear when they visit Chelsea on Sunday.

Manchester City vs Fulham 2012 Highlights: The clash happens on Saturday, 4 February 2012 at Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Manchester City have won 16 consecutive games at home in the Premier League and scored more goals than any other teams in the Premier League (60 times in 23 games). Thanks to stingiest defense in the top-flight, Manchester City have conceded only 19 goals so far. However, it can not be denied that Man City has broken out of the traps at the start of the season. Since the famous 6-1 victory at Old Trafford, they have won only two away games, at QPR and Wigan, with a grand total of 8 points from seven games.

The Cottagers, who stand at 13rd position on the table, have been unable to beat City in the last five league meetings but drawn on three occasions. Fulham historically have a very poor away record in the Premier League by the fact that they have only won only four of their last 48 games on the road in this season so far.
