Fulham hosts Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage on Monday night, looking to move past their recent Carabao Cup loss.
Marco Silva’s team faced a last-minute defeat against Newcastle in the quarter-finals. They now shift their focus to the Premier League to avoid dropping further down the standings.
Fulham has a strong home record against Forest, having won all three previous Premier League encounters at the Cottage.
Additionally, the team has performed well on Monday nights recently, winning against Wolves and Brentford in their last two matches. Silva hopes to maintain this positive trend, even with a diminished squad.
Marco Silva is facing challenges with three key players away for the Africa Cup of Nations. Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Samuel Chukwueze will not be available, requiring changes in both defense and attack. Jorge Cuenca is likely to join the defense, while Kevin might take a position on the wing.
In midfield, Saša Lukić has a groin injury but may still play. Harry Wilson is crucial with six goal contributions in his last four league matches. Raul Jiménez is set to lead the attack, while Ryan Sessegnon and Rodrigo Muniz are out with thigh injuries.
Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Cuenca, Robinson; Berge, Lukić; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Kevin; Jiménez
The Premier League match takes place at Craven Cottage on Monday, 22 December 2025, starting at 20:00 GMT.
Viewers in the UK can watch the match live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage beginning at 19:00 GMT.
