Fulham’s Unlikely Role in the Premier League Title Race

As the Premier League season enters its final stretch, Arsenal fans will be keeping a close eye on Fulham’s upcoming match against Manchester City. The Gunners are currently top of the table, but City’s game in hand means that the title is still very much in their grasp. Any points dropped by Pep Guardiola’s side would be a massive boost to Arsenal’s title hopes.

Fulham, sitting comfortably in mid-table, might seem like an unlikely hero in the title race. However, their match against City could prove to be a crucial one. Despite not having much to play for, Fulham manager Marco Silva has vowed that his team will give it their all in front of their home crowd.

“We are going to try and win the game as always,” Silva said. “It’s clear from me, we are going to try, 100 per cent.”
