One of the Premier League’s out-of-form teams faces a hugely in-form team on Saturday as Fulham host Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage.
With four matches to go in the Premier League season, Fulham and Palace are comfortably placed 13th and 14th in the table, with top-flight football secured for next season already.
Current Form
Fulham’s current form
Fulham previously had slight aspirations of qualifying for Europe, but over the last few weeks they have dropped down the table due to a poor run of form.
Marco Silva’s men have just one win recorded in their last five games and they’ve lost three in that time, too.
Last time out, they were defeated 3-1 at home by Liverpool.
Crystal Palace’s current form
Palace, meanwhile, have been superb in recent weeks and have won three matches in a row versus Liverpool, West Ham and Newcastle.
They have scored a brilliant seven goals in their last two games alone and demolished West Ham 5-2 last weekend.
Silva has enjoyed the benefit of a fully fit squad in recent weeks and the only doubt for this one surrounds Willian, who has a tight groin. He should be okay to feature, though.
As for Palace, Sam Johnstone, Cheick Doucoure, Jefferson Lerma, Marc Guehi and Rob Holding are all out.
Key player – Fulham
Andreas Pereira recently scored a double against Wesh Ham and has been one of Fulham’s best players this season.
Michael Olise has been in cracking form recently and is linked with a summer move to the likes of Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Juventus.
Scoreline Prediction
Fulham will be keen to ensure a strong end to the season and will fancy their chances at home, but Palace have been effervescent going forward recently so this could be an entertaining one.
