One of the toughest matches of the season coming up.
It’s Fulham, who are racing away at the top of the division, 11 points clear of second placed Huddersfield. They have the highest goals for and the lowest goals against, the former because of the outstanding form of Mitrovic. He’s already surpassed Brentford’s Ivan Toney’s record 31 goals of last season.
They were relegated from the Premier League last season and have appointed a new manager in Marco Silva last July.
They’ve mainly kept their squad together and improved on it, with the likes of £12.6m right-winger Harry Wilson from Liverpool, £7.2m centre-forward Rodrigo Muniz from Flamenco, and the loan signings of Liverpool’s right-back Neco Williams and Watford’s central midfielder Domingos Quina.
Mitrovic scored a hat-trick against us in the corresponding away fixture last September and always seems to score against us. Our back three that day were Cabango, Naughton and Manning, the same back three as last Saturday’s win against Coventry.
