- Defending champions Man City could move ahead of English Premier League leaders Arsenal with a win away against Fulham on Saturday.
- Firmly ensconced in midtable, the hosts have little to play for, with footage of players flying kites in training raising question marks from Arsenal fans over how motivated the Cottagers appear to be for what remains a key match in the race for the title.
- Pep Guardiola could do what no coach has ever done and win four consecutive league titles in England.
Pep Guardiola’s men have been in ominous form in the closing stages of the campaign and come into this fixture off the back of thrashing Wolves 5-1. Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world. Fulham host Man City at Craven Cottage in west London on Saturday, May 11. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. BST local time, which is 7:30 a.m. ET or 4:30 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 9:30 p.m. AEST in Australia. If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this. Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions. Looking for other options? Be sure to check out some of the other great VPN deals taking place right now. ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $13 a month, and you can sign up for ExpressVPN and save 35% — the equivalent of $8.32 a month — if you get an annual subscription. Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
