Fulham return to Craven Cottage this Sunday, looking to bounce back from a heartbreaking defeat.
Marco Silva’s men lost 5-4 to Manchester City in a midweek thriller. They became just the third team in history to lose a home game after scoring four goals. However, they must now focus on a tough London derby against Crystal Palace. The visitors possess one of the strongest defensive records in the Premier League.
Therefore, the hosts must tighten up at the back to secure a positive result. Silva will likely make adjustments to his starting XI for this encounter. A victory would move them further away from the relegation zone. Consequently, selection decisions in attack could prove pivotal against such a resolute opponent.
Marco Silva will be without key full-back Antonee Robinson due to a knee problem. Additionally, striker Rodrigo Muniz remains sidelined with a thigh injury. These are the only two confirmed absentees for the home side.
Nevertheless, Samuel Chukwueze is pushing for a start after his impressive cameo against Manchester City. The winger scored twice and boasts the best minutes-per-goal ratio in Premier League history. Consequently, he could replace Harry Wilson on the right flank to provide more attacking threat.
Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, King; Chukwueze, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jiménez
The Premier League fixture takes place at Craven Cottage on Sunday, 7 December 2025. Kick-off is scheduled for 16:30 GMT.
The match will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.
