LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Fulham got a really good win against Leicester - they played very, very well.
Scott Parker's side are easy on the eye and that's a big tick for him. However, I don't think they'll have much of the ball against Manchester City.
The Cottagers aren't ones to park the bus in front of teams, but the only chance they have against Pep Guardiola's side is by having possession because they're not very good at the back.
It's also worth remembering that City have won their past nine matches against Fulham and scored a hatful of goals in the process.
I wouldn't say it's a 'free fixture' but if Fulham get beaten 3-0 or 4-0 it won't raise eyebrows.
Prediction: 4-0
