Fulham currently sit 17th in the Premier League, having collected just eight points from their opening nine matches. It’s been a disappointing start to the season for the Cottagers, who have failed to live up to pre-season expectations—particularly after significant investment in the squad towards the end of the summer transfer window. Their recent league form has been poor, with just one win and four defeats in their last five outings.

Most recently, they suffered a 2-1 loss away at Newcastle United, conceding a last-minute goal that denied them a point. However, Fulham did secure a morale-boosting victory over Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Cup this week, so they won’t be coming into this fixture on a completely negative note.

Fulham’s home form offers some encouragement—they have won four and lost just one of their games at Craven Cottage this season, with their sole defeat being a narrow 1-0 loss to league leaders Arsenal.
