Manchester City moved to the top of the Premier League until Sunday evening at least with a 2-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday.
The champions are a point ahead of second-placed Liverpool, who have played the same number of games but host Tottenham on Super Sunday
City shot 18 times in the first half, the most by any Premier League away team in a first half this season, and were successful with two; man-of-the-match Bernardo Silva's low effort from 20 yards (5) put them ahead, before Sergio Aguero's dinked finish from an angle doubled the advantage (27).
There was a slight concern as Aguero was taken off with what looked like a minor knock before the hour mark as City prepare for a heavy run of fixtures, but it stayed 2-0 as Fulham remain 19th, 13 points off safety with just six games remaining.
Aguero, who now has 19 Premier League goals and sits top of the Golden Boot standings, was taken off with 57 minutes gone with what looked to be a slight knock, though the extent of any injury has yet to be revealed.
City now host Cardiff on Wednesday night, live on Sky Sports Premier League at 7.45pm, before their FA Cup semi-final with Brighton at Wembley on Saturday at 5.30pm.
Fulham are at Watford on Tuesday night, before hosting Everton on Saturday at 3pm.
