Fulham aim to boost their European hopes when they host Bournemouth at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
Marco Silva’s side sit three points behind the top seven despite recent goalscoring issues. The Cottagers have failed to score in five of their last seven Premier League games. However, they have won both of the matches in which they found the net during that run. Fulham are looking to secure three consecutive home league wins for the first time since 2023.
Fulham have been formidable on home turf throughout the 2025-26 campaign. They have won ten of their seventeen league matches at Craven Cottage so far. Only the current top four sides have recorded more home victories this term. Silva hopes his team can dictate the tempo and exploit a Bournemouth side that draws frequently.
Fulham team news
Marco Silva must navigate several selection issues after a difficult week at the training ground. Ryan Sessegnon and Alex Iwobi are both confirmed absentees for the visit of the Cherries. Sander Berge missed the Arsenal match due to illness but should return to the starting lineup. Raúl Jiménez is also being assessed after he was unable to train fully this week. That said, the Mexican striker has scored five goals in six starts against Bournemouth.
Kevin is back in contention for the first time since February. Silva revealed the winger had a productive week of training with the first team. His return provides a much-needed threat for an attack that has struggled for goals lately. Meanwhile, Bernd Leno is poised to continue his incredible run of consecutive league appearances. The German goalkeeper has featured in 147 straight matches for the Cottagers. This is the longest such run in the Premier League. Rodrigo Muniz is also pushing for more minutes as he returns to full fitness.
Fulham predicted lineup
Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Wilson, King, Chukwueze; Jimenez.
