Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Manchester City and Fulham. The first-division clash scheduled for 11 a.m. ET will be held at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester and can be live streamed here free.
Manchester City enter Week 31 fourth in the Premier League table. The club, however, still has the benefit of having three games in hand over league leaders Chelsea. That's exactly the kind of situation that has led City midfielder David Silva to claim his side are the favorites to lift the league title at season's end (h/t to the Daily Star). "All the matches now are like finals and we have to win them all. They are very important games for City now," Silva said.
"It's a very good situation to be in, to have your destiny in your own hands, but also it could play against us," he added. "But overall though I think to be in the position where if we win all our matches we are champions is a good place to be. We have to carry on now and use that to our advantage."
