Comments, predictions Crystal Palace vs Fulham: Share points

Two Premier League sides will battle it out for three points as they head into the international break in high spirits when Crystal Palace host Fulham at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Both teams were winless in home and away meetings last season, with a goalless draw at Selhurst Park in September 2023 followed by a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage seven months later.

Latest Crystal Palace vs Fulham team information

Crystal Palace will be without Eberechi Eze, Jefferson Lerma, Chris Richards (all hamstring), Adam Wharton (groin), Chadi Riad (knee) and Matheus Franca (groin) through injury.

Eddie Nketiah is believed to have a slight hamstring problem and could be out, while Joel Ward is likely to return to the squad after being sidelined with an unspecified problem.

Cheick Doucoure could be fit for his first domestic game from mid-September and his presence could push Daichi Kamada further forward, supporting Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta in attack.

For Fulham, only Sasa Lukic has an injury problem. He is still recovering from a shoulder injury and will aim to return after the international break.

Timothy Castagne has recovered from a hamstring injury to come off the bench against Brentford, and he will compete with Kenny Tete for the right-back spot.

Wilson will be hoping to force his way into the starting line-up after a fine display off the bench on Monday, but Silva is likely to rely on Reiss Nelson - who impressed against Brentford in his first start since arriving on loan from Arsenal - and Alex Iwobi on either flank.

Henderson; Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Doucoure, Hughes, Mitchell; Sarr, Kamada; Mateta

Latest Crystal Palace vs Fulham football review

After losing three consecutive Premier League games against Everton, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace have gone three games unbeaten in all competitions, picking up four points from their last two domestic games.

The Eagles picked up their first Premier League win of the season when they beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at home less than a fortnight ago, and they also overcame Aston Villa 2-1 in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup before sharing points with Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 2-2 draw at Molineux last weekend.

Defensive duo Trevoh Chalobah and captain Marc Guehi both scored for Oliver Glasner's side, who are currently 17th in the Premier League table and just two points above the relegation zone after 10 games.

After beating Spurs in their last game at Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace are now bidding to make it two consecutive wins in top-flight London derbies for the first time since April 2017 when they overcame Chelsea and Arsenal.

However, victory on Saturday could be difficult as the Eagles have failed to win in their last five Premier League meetings with Fulham, drawing four, including the last three.

Fulham looked set to make it four Premier League games without a win going into stoppage time in their West London derby with Brentford on Monday night, as they trailed 1-0 through Vitaly Yanelt's long-range strike.

However, the Cottagers' persistence in the final minutes was rewarded as Harry Wilson came on as a substitute to seal a dramatic 2-1 win. The Welsh winger came on in the 82nd minute and scored in the 92nd and 97th minutes to create a frenzied scene at Craven Cottage.

Marco Silva praised the spirit of the Fulham players after the match, saying their will to not give up had been "deserved" with three important points. The win moved Fulham back to the top of the table, in ninth place, just three points off the top four.

Fulham have picked up 15 points from their first 10 Premier League games of the season, but only five of those have come away from home. A 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest in September was one of four wins in their 14 away games in 2024.

The Cottagers will be confident of getting a positive result against Crystal Palace this weekend having picked up five points from their last three visits to Selhurst Park, while also keeping three clean sheets.

These two sides have not been very evenly matched in recent encounters, and a tight affair could be on the cards again at Selhurst Park, possibly a low-scoring affair as just 11 goals have been scored in Fulham's five away games this season.

The Cottagers could be considered slight favourites in this one thanks to their early season form and recent away record against Palace, but we predict the Eagles will take at least a point from this clash.
