    Fulham - v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread ***



    TEAM NEWS

    On-loan Fulham winger Daniel James is ineligible to face his parent club, while Aleksandar Mitrovic serves the fourth game of an eight-match suspension.

    Layvin Kurzawa remains sidelined.

    Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia has said he is unsure if Patrick Bamford will be fit enough to feature due to an ongoing calf issue.

    Max Wober may return after four games out with a hamstring injury but Tyler Adams and Stuart Dallas remain out.

    MATCH FACTS

    Head-to-head

    Fulham can complete the league double over Leeds United for the first time since 1960, when the Yorkshire side were relegated from the top flight.

    Leeds could win consecutive league visits to Fulham for the first time since 1956 in the second tier.

    Fulham have already beaten Leeds twice this season: 3-2 in the league and 2-0 in the FA Cup.

    As a top-flight side, the Cottagers have beaten a team three times in one season on three previous occasions - Blackburn in 1961-62, Charlton Athletic in 2002-03 and Norwich City in 2013-14.

    Fulham

    Fulham's win at Everton last weekend ended a run of five straight defeats in all competitions.
    The victory at Goodison Park was just a third in nine league games without Aleksandar Mitrovic this season.

    Fulham's points tally of 42 is their highest after 30 matches of a Premier League campaign. The club's record points total is 53 in 2008-09, a season in which they had 40 points after 30 games.

    They are just two wins shy of equalling the club record of 14 victories in a Premier League season.

    The Cottagers have lost their last two home league fixtures, as many as they had in their previous nine.

    Their five home league defeats this season have either come in London derbies (versus Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham), or against top-four teams (Newcastle United and Manchester United).

    Leeds United

    Leeds United have won just twice in 15 Premier League away games this season.

    They have conceded 16 goals in four league matches this month, conceding at least four goals in three of those fixtures.

    The Whites already hold the record for most Premier League goals conceded in a calendar month, letting in 20 in February 2022.

    Leeds have kept just one away clean sheet this season, the lowest tally of any top-flight team.

    They have lost all five of their Premier League games in London this season, conceding 16 goals.

    The last time they lost five in a row in a single campaign in the capital was in 2020-21, a run which ended with a 2-1 win at Fulham.

    Luis Sinisterra has scored twice in three matches, as many goals as in his opening 14 appearances for the club.

    0 - 1. Nervous.

    MOT.

    One thing is for sure the home crowd won’t be intimidating or noisy so it will feel like a home game.

    Running out of time and games - players need to show some b0ll0cks and turn up and fight for the shirt.

    If no Wober then we are toast.

    think this game is when relegation begins to happen.

    Loss of Adams is really killing us as well.

    Wober is apparently fully fit so let’s keep our fingers crossed.

    If we stop secondary striker Carlos Vinicius supply from wide areas & if we close down to stop their shoot onsite policy it'll be down to us to put away chances if we can create them.

    3 big "IF'S" then for us ! 😀
