The Belgian midfielder will be playing his final game for Manchester City at the weekend, and he will look to finish on a strong note. He is our key player to watch out for, and he will look to create goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates. Fulham have been quite vulnerable defensively, and the Belgian has the quality to expose their vulnerabilities with his passing and vision. He will look to find the back of the net as well.
This is a golden opportunity for him to sign off from the Premier League in style, and he is likely to make a defining impact in the final third.
Manchester City should be able to extend their impressive run of form against Fulham with a victory here. They are the better team, and they should be able to find a way past the London club.
Fulham have struggled defensively in recent weeks, and their defensive unit is likely to let them down here. Manchester City have world-class attacking players, and they are likely to outscore the home team.
