Fulham welcome high-flying Sunderland to Craven Cottage today, aiming to extend their impressive record against newly promoted sides.
In fact, Marco Silva’s team are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League matches against such opposition. Moreover, they have won the last three of those encounters consecutively.
The hosts will rely heavily on their home form. Indeed, they have collected 10 of their 11 points this season at Craven Cottage. However, they must address a defensive vulnerability. Alarmingly, they have conceded 69% of their goals in the second half this season.
Fulham team news
Marco Silva is forced into several midfield and defensive changes. First, Saša Lukić is suspended. Consequently, Harrison Reed will likely start alongside Sander Berge.
In defence, Antonee Robinson remains absent through injury. Therefore, Ryan Sessegnon or Timothy Castagne will deputise at left-back. Up front, Raúl Jiménez will continue to lead the line, as Rodrigo Muniz is also out.
However, the manager has a key weapon in Harry Wilson. The attacker returns full of confidence after displaying excellent form for Wales during the international break. Finally, Silva may deploy Alex Iwobi in a deeper central role to add further creativity.
Fulham predicted lineup
Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Reed; Wilson, Iwobi, Kevin; Jimenez
