Match is decisive for the final stretch of the English Championship; see where to watch live and the likely lineups
Fulham and Manchester City will take to the field this Saturday (11), at 8:30 am (Brasília time), for the penultimate round of the 2023/24 Premier League. The game will be held at Craven Cottage stadium, in London, and will be broadcast live in Brazil by ESPN on closed TV and on Star+in conjunction with the broadcaster, in streaming (see the schedule of Saturday’s games here).
Already with no chance of qualifying, but also far from the relegation zone for the EFL Championship, the home team is in 13th place in the table and with just one win in the last seven games. Scoring is still interesting, considering that the English championship awards 2.2 million pounds more for each position in the table.
Meanwhile, Manchester City reaches the climax of its season. Second-placed with 82 points, Arsenal is ahead of them with 83, however, Pep Guardiola’s team has a game in hand and is only depending on themselves in the last few games. If they win – which is not difficult, given their six wins in the last six league games – and the Gunners don’t, they will immediately take over at the top of the table.
In addition to winning the first round game 5-1, City have defeated Fulham in the last 15 direct meetings between the teams. It is a taboo of more than 15 years without a win for the Manchester club.
