Craven Cottage welcomes an All-London case in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon while Fulham would face Crystal Palace.
Fulham increased its chances of playing European football next season by beating the high-flying 2-1 high-flying forest in western London last week. The Cottager won three of their four previous league outings and climbed to the eighth in the table.
With the UEFA coefficient of the Premier League, benefiting from a resurgence this season, the eighth could be sufficient to sneak in the league of the conference.
The palace is again ready for another finish in the middle of the table, but it once had much worse for the side of Oliver Glasner. It took the Eagles a little time to cope with the departure of Michael Olise, while Adam Wharton’s injury problems did not help their quest to rely on the solid finish of last season.
They were beaten by Everton in Selhurst Park last weekend and are now 13th in the table but 13 points from the fall area.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the confrontation of the first League on Saturday.

Sasa Lukic impressed last weekend against Nottingham Forest and experienced a beautiful campaign after the traces of Joao Palhinha at the base of the Fulham midfielder. However, there is a doubt for Saturday’s fight after drinking late in the recent Cottager victory.
Tom Cairney is therefore in the running to start alongside Sander Berge, Emile Smith Rowe working as the number ten of Fulham. Adama Traore should keep his place on the right, while Raul Jimenez remains the leading man of Silva at the top despite the shape of Rodrigo Muniz in shape.
Reiss Nelson, Harry Wilson and Kenny Tete stay away.
Fulham predict the vs palace programming (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Cairney, bank; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez.
Palace supporters will not see the arrival of summer Chadi Riad this season. The defender was excluded for the rest of 2024/25 with a knee injury. Cheick Doucoure will not play before summer either.
Joel Ward is another long -term absent.
Glasner has attenuated the midfielder Adam Wharton of groin surgery in the past two weeks, and it could be the time to restore English to the start range of the palace. Ebelechi Eze should also be recalled after appearing outside the bench last week.
Palace predicts the VS Fulham programming (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze; Mateta.
The palace was treated a successful punch by the Toffees last week and did a delicate test in a Bouyant Fulham outfit this weekend. However, the Eagles have proven more than travelers followers.
The Glasner team has not tasted defeat on the Premier League road since October and their undefeated race at home is currently at eight games. Thus, they will be confident to obtain a positive result on Saturday.
In addition, the recent history of this luminaire points to a sharing of booty. Three of the four previous meetings, as well as the most recent two in Craven Cottage, ended with prints. We could be in another this weekend.
