Confirmed line-ups ahead of London derby
Fulham host Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League. Get all the team news here…
Fulham welcome Crystal Palace to Craven Cottage in the penultimate Premier League clash of the weekend.
The Cottagers have been struggling for consistent form under Marco Silva this term, and currently sit in the bottom half, six points off their opponents today.
Meanwhile, the Eagles are inside the top six and flying under Oliver Glasner.
Off the back of their FA Cup triumph last term, Palace are competing in Europe and domestically this term, meaning their team is more stretched than usual.
Having said that, the visitors will fancy their chances of picking up all three points in West London today.
