60 seconds on Fulham | James Andrew, Editor, FourFourTwo | OneFootball

Welcome back to '60 seconds on...' our match preview with the pundits who know our opponents inside out.

Next up, it’s Fulham in the Premier League at Craven Cottage on Sunday (2pm UK), so we called in on James Andrew - @JamesAndrew_ - Editor of FourFourTwo Magazine, Fulham fan and contributor to the Cottagers’ official matchday programme.

Looking at recent results against Liverpool, Chelsea, Brighton and Sunderland - and still wondering how you lost against Everton – is it fair to say Fulham are in pretty decent form at the moment?

James: “That was a really tough run on paper - Palace away on New Year's Day and then we had Liverpool, Chelsea and you're like… what are we going to get from this? Last kick of the game, we drew the game with Liverpool, beating Chelsea is something we don't do nearly enough, but it's always really, really enjoyable when we do. Then Brighton, I'll be honest, we didn't deserve to win that. Again, last kick of the game, free-kick from Harry Wilson. Brighton were the better team, as they were at the home game, so we've nicked four points off Brighton this season if I'm honest. Sunderland was a really, really good performance on Sunday and we really needed it because we've had difficult away games at City, where we just never turn up. I don't know what it is, I don't know what we'd need to do to win against City. We had a disappointing defeat away at Leeds, again, last-minute goal, in January. We lost to Manchester United again last minute. I think we were on - with the Everton one - three defeats in a row, weren't in great form, so we needed the away wins in the FA Cup against Stoke and then Sunderland just to... I don't think we were ever really nervous, I think we'd done enough earlier in the season to make sure we were far enough away, but until you're safe, you're always a bit nervous. I'm writing a programme column for West Ham, which is after the Spurs game. I'm writing about how exciting it is for the rest of the season from a Fulham point of view because we're still in the FA Cup, as I write the column, and we should be safe in the Premier League. It's a case of looking up to see what we can achieve this season, but I think the last two wins against Stoke and Sunderland were key just to get back on track.”

There's rightly been a lot of talk about Harry Wilson - is he the stand-out player for Fulham going into Sunday?

James: “He's suffered from injuries in previous seasons and he's really been unlucky, but this season he's really benefited from starting games. He's on that run where he just scores really, really important goals and all types of different goals. The goal at Spurs earlier in the season – he’s probably the only player in the Fulham team who could score a goal like that. He can have quieter games. If you keep him quiet, the opposition tend to do well. I think Everton did that well. He didn't score against Sunderland, but his run for the third goal was brilliant. He's a really key player and coming into good form this season, he'll probably end up being our player of the season.”

How is Ryan Sessegnon getting on?

James: “He's been playing a lot this season because Antonee Robinson's not been fit, so he's been playing left-back. He's probably better suited to playing further forward, but he's been really, really good in pretty much all the games he's played this season and makes a difference off the bench if he's not starting. If I go back to when he came through at Fulham as a 16-year-old and then he stayed with Fulham in the Premier League, signed a new deal and then left for decent money - no-one begrudged him that. It just felt like Sessegnon did everything the right way and I think you'll be hard pushed to find a Fulham fan who didn't wish him the best at Spurs. I know that injuries got the better of him, but he came back last season and hardly played in the first half of the season. I think Marco Silva was just working with him on the training ground. Then, when he came into it in the second half of last season, he was fit, strong and he was making a difference. He's got that ability at left-back, left-wing - he played on the right last season and this season as well - to pop up in the box and score. He's absolutely loved at Fulham.”

Marco Silva usually sticks with his 4-2-3-1 system - anything different, tactically, this season?

James: “It’s 4-2-3-1, and I don't see that changing. I imagine after Sunderland, because Raúl Jiménez scored twice, he'll start up front, with Rodrigo Muniz on the bench. Muniz is coming back from injury, he's not quite fully there yet. It'll be four at the back, as long as they're all fit, it'll be Tete, Anderson, Bassey, Sessegnon or Robinson. Then it’s probably Berge and Iwobi, but Kevin picked up an injury at the weekend, so if he doesn't play, then I imagine it'll be Wilson and it could be Oscar Bobb starting his first game, then probably Smith-Rowe just behind Jimenez. Once we've got a fully fit squad, we've got quite decent options on the bench to bring on.”

Finally, how do you expect it to pan out at the Cottage on Sunday?

James: “I've got a lot of good friends who are Spurs fans. I met up with a couple of them last season when Fulham won 2-0 at the Cottage. I know where Spurs are in the league, but it's still Spurs coming to Fulham and I'm always nervous. However, I do think with the injuries you have, it might just go Fulham's way. I'm always on the fence when I do these predictions, but I'll say 2-1. I'll go for a narrow home win.”
