Manchester City attempt to follow up their late win at Liverpool on Sunday when they host a Fulham side aiming to bounce back from a home defeat by Everton.
BBC Sport examines some of the key themes going into their meeting at Etihad Stadium.
Last-gasp, chaotic, potentially crucial – Manchester City's 2-1 win at Anfield on Sunday kept Pep Guardiola's within six points of leaders Arsenal following the latest round of matches and the title race alive – for the time being.
City have 50 points after 25 Premier League games but only six teams have gone on to win the title with 50 points or fewer at this stage of a 38-game season – and the last one was 23 years ago.
On that occasion, Manchester United won 10 and drew three of their remaining 13 games to overhaul leaders Arsenal and finish top on 83 points in 2002-03.
The Gunners were top after 25 games that season with 53 points, but failed to win six of their remaining 13 matches – a drop in form which proved costly.
Arsenal currently have three more points at the same stage of this season but Match of the Day pundit Wayne Rooney believes Erling Haaland's winning goal against Liverpool last weekend – his first at Anfield for City – could spark a run of form to test Mikel Arteta's mettle should their be any slip-ups.
"It was a real high-pressure penalty because it was to keep Manchester City in the title race," he said. "You could see that relief in his face to score the goal so late to win the game. The confidence that will give him now will be scary for Arsenal in the next few weeks."
City's next game is against a Fulham side they have defeated in their past 19 meetings; the longest winning run one side has had against another in English football history.
Marco Silva's men dominated the first half against Everton on Saturday before losing to a late own goal at Craven Cottage.
The Cottagers have won just three of their 12 away trips in the Premier League so far this season, while Silva's record is also rotten in this particular fixture.
He has lost all 13 Premier League meetings with City, the most one manager has faced an opponent with a 100% loss rate in the competition's history.
Any uptick in confidence for Haaland ahead of Wednesday's encounter will also be unwelcome for visiting fans given he's scored seven goals and assisted three in just seven Premier League appearances against Fulham.
