Brighton & Hove Albion is set to visit Craven Cottage on Saturday, looking to improve their record against Fulham.
Fabian Hürzeler’s team has shown resilience this season, managing to avoid defeat in eight matches after falling behind, more than any other team. However, their past performance against Fulham raises concerns, as they have only won 9% of their Premier League encounters with them. A win today is crucial to maintain their chances for European qualification.
Brighton Team News
Under Fabian Hürzeler’s management, the squad is steadily recovering from recent illnesses. Maxim De Cuyper, who missed the last match, is expected to return to the squad. Yankuba Minteh and Carlos Baleba are also in contention for starting positions after strong performances off the bench.
Bart Verbruggen will take up the goalkeeping role, supported by defenders Lewis Dunk and Jan Paul van Hecke, the latter being the most effective centre-back in the league regarding goal contributions. In midfield, Carlos Baleba is anticipated to take Jack Hinshelwood’s place to add more physicality. Danny Welbeck is likely to be the main striker, aided by the creative skills of Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter as Brighton seeks its first Premier League win at Craven Cottage.
