After dropping important points last weekend, Manchester City aims to get their title defense back on track as they host Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
City played to their second consecutive Premier League draw last Saturday, ending in a 1-1 tie with Newcastle, which leaves them one point behind the current league leaders, Liverpool, as they head into this weekend’s matches.
They will be up against a Fulham team that is experiencing its best start to a Premier League season in 11 years. The Cottagers currently sit in sixth place and secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest last weekend, thanks to a penalty from Raul Jimenez.
The match between Manchester City and Fulham is set for Saturday, October 5, at the Etihad Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 3 p.m. BST local time. In the US and Canada, this corresponds to 10 a.m. ET or 7 a.m. PT, while fans in Australia can tune in for a midnight AEST start on Sunday.
For those looking to watch the match live, it will be streamed on Peacock in the US, requiring a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account.
