"Starting with the hosts, while Fulham might have failed to mount what would have been an iconic comeback in west London earlier in the week, Fulham should take plenty of positives away from a stellar performance at Craven Cottage. Eventually falling to 5-4 loss at the hands of Manchester City, Marco Silva's men will be hoping to claim an immediate response here."
"Marking their return from November's international break with consecutive Premier League victories against Sunderland and Tottenham, the former Everton boss has seen his squad drag themselves away from a looming relegation scrap. Likewise, winning four of their previous six appearances across all competitions, Fulham should also be excited by their overall success on home soil. In fact, Silva's side have won six of their previous eight showdowns at Craven Cottage - a run that stems back to a 1-1 stalemate against Manchester United on August 24th."
"Fulham Team News Not featuring since the end of September, Fulham will once again be unable to call upon USA international Antonee Robinson on Sunday afternoon. Likewise, dealing with a recent hamstring injury, Brazilian marksman Rodrigo Muniz remains on the sidelines and will not feature here. Coming off the bench and bagging a pair of consolation strikes against Manchester City earlier in the week, AC Milan loanee Samuel Chukwueze should be handed a full recall. Likewise, given what is a speedy turnaround, skipper Tom Cairney could get some minutes under his belt."
Fulham conceded a 5-4 defeat to Manchester City but displayed encouraging attacking form and seek an immediate response at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva's team returned from the international break with league wins over Sunderland and Tottenham and have won four of their last six matches across competitions. Fulham have won six of eight recent home matches. Antonee Robinson has been out since September and Rodrigo Muniz is sidelined with a hamstring issue. Samuel Chukwueze, who scored twice as a substitute midweek, is likely to start. Crystal Palace won 1-0 away at Burnley.
