They have won just three of their nine matches since Christmas Day and have been knocked out of both the FA Cup and Carling Cup. On Tuesday they were beaten 1-0 by Everton and that has seen them lose their lead at the top of the Premier League.Roberto Mancini's side badly need a victory and they are expected to claim one on Saturday when they take on Fulham at the Etihad Stadium. It is 1/3 at Bet Victor that the Citizens claim maximum points against the Cottagers and that will be a very popular bet this weekend.Mario Balotelli may be suspended but Sergio Aguero (7/2, Coral) and Edin Dzeko (17/4, Bet Victor) are more than capable of causing problems for a defence which has conceded 32 times in 23 matches. They have leaked four goals in their last eight games, against West Brom, Everton, Newcastle and Blackburn, who are hardly on a par with the Premier League leaders.Fulham have also sold striker Bobby Zamora, meaning that one of their main goal threats has been extinguished. They didn't look great in attack against West Brom on Wednesday and it is difficult to see how they will trouble Manchester City this weekend. Odds of 11/1 at Ladbrokes look about right on the visitors and even 9/2 on a draw isn't particularly enticing.City should be able win, and win comfortably, on Saturday and punters would be advised to back the hosts to get back on top in the title race by claiming a victory by a minimum of two goals, at odds of 37/40 with bet365. Adventurous City fans can get 8/1 at Coral on a correct score of 3-0 and that could well be worth a punt.RecommendationAsian Handicap (-1.5 Goals) - Manchester City (37/40, bet365) Read our Bet365 review Get your £200 free bet at bet365 now Like Like Post to wall 149 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles Goal-line Technology 12/1 To Debut In 2012-13 Premier League24 May 2012Goal-line technology could be introduced to the Premier League next season, according to Ladbrokes.
