Last time out
City beat Fulham 2-0 at Craven Cottage on the final day of the 2024/25 season to clinch third place in the Premier League – and so confirm our place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
A spectacular first half overhead kick from Ilkay Gundogan had sent the Blues in at the break holding a crucial first half advantage.
And victory was then secured mid-way through the second half when Erling Haaland despatched a penalty after Gundogan had been brought down in the box.
