Manchester City are set to break a record in English football when they head to Craven Cottage to play Fulham in the Premier League's Saturday lunchtime match. The Citizens are on fire as they chase a historic fourth consecutive title, riding a 20-game unbeaten streak in the league that includes 16 wins and four draws.

Since their 0-0 draw with Arsenal, who are also in the title race, City have been unstoppable, winning their last six league games with a stunning 24 goals scored and just five conceded. Their most recent wins were a 2-0 against Nottingham Forest and a resounding 5-1 against Wolverhampton Wanderers, where Erling Haaland bagged four goals.

A win over Fulham would put City two points ahead at the top of the Premier League, at least until Arsenal face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Manchester City has a solid record against Fulham, who are currently in 13th place and look set for a mid-table finish. The Cottagers haven't beaten City at home in their last 15 Premier League meetings, with their last victory dating back to November 2005.

City's 15-game winning streak against Fulham is something to marvel at. It started in 2012 with a 3-0 win and continued with their 5-1 triumph last September. In this run, City scored at least twice in every game and kept nine clean sheets, tallying up 45 goals across these 15 matches.

If they win on Saturday, City will set a new record for the longest winning streak by one English team against another in football history. Their current 15-game streak matches records they've set against Bournemouth and Watford.

To add to their confidence, Pep Guardiola has confirmed that every member of his first-team squad is fit and ready for the match against Marco Silva's Fulham.

"No injury worries. Everyone is fine," Guardiola said at a press conference on Friday. "I don't know what other clubs do, but for many years we've had an incredible medical department here.

"Doing the same thing could be maybe the opposite, but we were fortunate last season too we had few injuries."
