Crystal Palace – Fulham

Crystal Palace host Fulham in what promises to be a pivotal clash at Selhurst Park, with the home side perched in 16th place on three points after a solitary win and three defeats, having scored six and conceded eleven. Fulham arrive languishing in 18th, pocketing just a single point from a goalless draw and three losses, their tally standing at four goals for and seven against. Both teams will be desperate to close the gap to safety, and the head‑to‑head record this season offers little comfort, as neither side has yet managed a victory. With Palace needing three points to climb out of the relegation zone and Fulham hoping to scrape their first win, the encounter could prove decisive for both campaigns.
