Crystal Palace vs Fulham
Fulham have an identical record to their London rivals and are only behind Roy Hodgson’s side on goal difference. The Cottagers also started their campaign with a win after beating Everton before going on a three-game winless run. An enthralling 2-2 draw with Arsenal came between two heavy defeats, with Marco Silva overseeing a 3-0 loss to Brentford and a 5-1 defeat to Manchester City. However, confidence will be back after a victory in their last match. Carlos Vinicius netted his fourth goal in six games in a 1-0 triumph over Luton Town, netting the winner just three minutes after coming off the bench.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
Palace lost just one of their opening four Premier League fixtures before falling to defeat against Aston Villa in their previous outing. The Eagles have seven points on the board after securing wins over early struggles Sheffield United and Wolves and a draw versus Brentford, with their only beating coming at the hands of Arsenal. The hosts came close to extending their unbeaten run to four matches at Villa Park and were leading until 87th-minute when Jhon Duran scored the equaliser. Douglas Luiz and Leon Bailey then netted in stoppage time to complete the comeback for Unai Emery’s men. Palace will want to return to winning ways, but they have failed to beat Fulham in their last three encounters (drawing two and losing one).
