"The Blues could temporarily reduce the gap on leaders Arsenal to three points, with the Gunners facing Brentford on Thursday evening. Pep Guardiola's side narrowly won a frantic game 5-4 in the reverse fixture in December, and he expects another tough challenge from Marco Silva's team. "Fulham is better every season, with the movements," he said at Friday's press conference. "When I see for example their game against Manchester United this morning, that they lost at the end to the Sesko goal, they are really good."
