Fulham and Leeds United will collide in a vital Premier League clash at Craven Cottage this weekend.
Fulham Form GuideFrom yo-yo club to a stable force. Marco Silva has been able to play a big role in helping to get Fulham back into the top half and while there’s no guarantee they’ll stay there, the fact they’ve managed to hit the magic 40-point mark with eight games remaining is a huge statement of their intent. From here, it’ll be interesting to see how the Cottagers continue to build and develop.
They may be fun to watch, but Fulham didn’t exactly kickstart the month in scintillating form. They fell to consecutive defeats against Bournemouth and West Ham and appeared to be taking their foot off the gas, only to rebound with a nice 3-1 success away at Everton last weekend.
Leeds Form GuideThe Premier League is often so chaotic and unpredictable to the point whereby you can’t tell what’s going to happen from week to week - especially at the bottom. A few weeks back it seemed as if Leeds United were on their way to survival and now, they are easily one of the frontrunners for the drop, with their defensive issues being one of the biggest red flags.
After being humbled 4-1 by Arsenal at the Emirates, the boys from Yorkshire bounced back by edging past Nottingham Forest at Elland Road. Then, in two bizarre home games, they absolutely fell apart in 5-1 and 6-1 defeats to Crystal Palace and Liverpool.
Latest Team NewsMitrovic is still serving his suspension with Kebano and Kurzawa also out, whereas James can’t play against his parent club.
Bamford is likely still out due to a calf problem with Dallas and Adams both confirmed to be on the shelf through injury.
Match PredictionFulham aren’t going to push the tempo as much as they probably could, likely because they’re already in a pretty comfortable spot. Leeds, meanwhile, need to throw caution to the wind - but their poor defensive record as of late leads us to believe we will see under 2.5 goals scored.
