Match preview
Last season, Fulham managed to avoid relegation and now looks capable of being a solid mid-table team. They are a side that other teams should take seriously.
Fulham is still seeking their first win this season. They drew 1-1 at Brighton in the opening week, followed by another 1-1 draw at home against Manchester United. In their last match, they faced a controversial 0-2 loss to Chelsea. Before the transfer window closed, Fulham strengthened their squad by signing wingers Samuel Chukwueze from Milan and Kevin from Shakhtar Donetsk.
Leeds returns to the Premier League after two years, led by Daniel Farke. They aim to secure their position this season. Leeds signed ten new players over the summer, but it’s still early to evaluate their impact.
In their first three games, Leeds has earned four points, starting with a 1-0 win at home against Everton, followed by a heavy 0-5 loss to Arsenal, and a goalless draw against Newcastle.
Probable lineups
- Fulham: Bernd Leno, Timothy Castagne, Calvin Bassey, Kenny Tete, Ryan Sessegnon, Joachim Andersen, Alex Iwobi, Sasa Lukic, Joshua King, Sander Berge, Rodrigo Muniz
