Fulham will face Brighton & Hove Albion at Craven Cottage on Saturday, looking to take advantage of their visitors’ struggles in West London.
After ending their six-game unbeaten streak last weekend, the Cottagers return to home turf with hopes high. Manager Marco Silva feels optimistic as Brighton has never won at Craven Cottage in the Premier League. A win could elevate Fulham to sixth place in the standings. However, they will need to manage the absence of an important midfielder and integrate players back from international duty.
Fulham Team News
Marco Silva has a squad facing injury challenges but is also seeing some players return. Saša Lukić is expected to be out for five weeks due to a hamstring injury. While Kenny Tete has resumed training, Lukić and Rodrigo Muniz are still sidelined. Silva is anticipated to bring back Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey after their stint in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Bernd Leno is expected to remain in goal, supported by a defense that has successfully contained Brighton in past encounters. In midfield, Sander Berge may pair with Iwobi in a deeper role to fill in for Lukić. Raúl Jiménez is set to lead the front line, having scored all five of Fulham’s league goals this season that opened the scoring for the team. Samuel Chukwueze might also start to add speed on the wings.
