🔍 Key Themes & Trends

  • Fulham have not beaten City in the last 17 meetings, forming one of the longest winless sequences by one English club against another

  • Big-score wins are common: 15 of City’s 21 PL wins over Fulham have been by margins of two goals or more

  • Goals galore: Head-to-head matches are often high-scoring, with the majority of recent games exceeding 2.5 total goals; “Both teams to score” outcomes occurred in many recent meetings

🧾 Historical Highlights

  • Their first-ever clash occurred in February 1908, at Hyde Road in the FA Cup—a 1‑1 draw followed by a replay, which Fulham won 3–1 at Craven Cottage

  • Through the mid‑20th century, they met regularly in Division One and Two, with a mix of wins and draws. For example: Fulham beat City 5–2 at home on 26 August 1959; City won 3–1 at Maine Road four days later.

🎯 Why This Rivalry Matters Now

  • City’s overwhelming dominance in recent years has made this fixture one-sided, yet it remains important—especially when European qualification or title-deciding drama is involved (as in 2024 and 2025).

  • Fulham’s bid to turn the tide continues to create narrative tension, even if result-wise it’s been one-sided.

✅ Summary

Manchester City vs Fulham is a classic example of one team building consistency and success over decades, especially since the Premier League era. While Fulham have experienced moments of success, City have dictated the contest in recent years, represented by a near-perfect results streak and dominant score lines.
