Fulham will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League when they host Leeds United at Craven Cottage on Saturday. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a comprehensive 3-1 win away to Everton last weekend, while Leeds were thrashed 6-1 by Liverpool. As of now, the Cottagers are occupying tenth spot in the English top tier standings, having collected 42 points from 30 games, 11 adrift of the top five. The visitors, meanwhile, are languishing at the 16th position, with 29 points to their name, only two points clear of the relegation zone.

Fulham recorded their 12th league-win of the season against Everton at Goodison Park last Saturday courtesy of goals from Harrison Reed, Harry Wilson and Daniel James. The result ended the Whites’ five game losing streak across all competitions. The Lilywhites’s chances of securing a European place for next season are slim as they currently sit seven points behind seventh-placed Brighton & Hove Albion, who have a game in hand. Nevertheless, securing a top half finish would represent an impressive season for least season’s Championship winners. Meanwhile, the Cottagers don’t have the best of records in front of their home supporters, having recorded only six wins from their 15 league-matches at Craven Cottage this term. Nevertheless, Fulham managed to secure a 2-0 win over Leeds in the FA Cup last month thanks to goals from Joao Palhinha and Manor Solomon. The whites also prevailed 3-2 in the reverse fixture in October last year.
Leeds, on the other hand, have been very inconsistent this term, having recorded seven wins, eight draws and 16 defeats in the Premier League so far. Eight days after a disappointing 5-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace, the Peacocks suffered a humbling loss to the Reds on Monday night. After trailing 2-0 at half-time, the Whites pulled one back through Luis Sinisterra’s 47th minute effort, but three goals within the space of 12 minutes put Liverpool back in control, before Darwin Nunez completed the rout with a sixth for the visitors at Elland Road. Leeds now have the worst defensive record in the English top tier so far this term, having conceded a total of 60 goals from 31 matches. Their last success came against Nottingham Forest (2-1) on April 4 thanks to first-half efforts from Jack Harrison and Sinisterra.
Fulham probable starting lineup: Leno, Tete, Ream, Tosin, Robinson, Reed, Palhinha, Wilson, Pereira, Willian, Vinicius
Leeds United probable starting lineup: Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Wober, Firpo, McKennie, Roca, Harrison, Aaronson, Sinisterra, Rodrigo
