The Premier League season is approaching its final whistle, with just four matches remaining. However, there’s still plenty to play for in the mid-table. Fulham and Crystal Palace, currently sitting comfortably above the relegation zone, meet this Saturday at Craven Cottage. While safety is secured, bragging rights and potentially a higher final placing are on the line in this London Derby.
Fulham, currently three points and one place ahead of Crystal Palace in 13th place, have a clear incentive to win this encounter. A victory would solidify their position and prevent Palace from leapfrogging them in the table.
However, the Eagles are flying high after a string of impressive results under new boss Oliver Glasner. Since Glasner took over the reins at Palace following Roy Hodgson’s departure in February, there has been a noticeable shift in the team’s dynamics. The Austrian has introduced a more entertaining and effective style of play, which was evident in their recent impressive victories over Liverpool and Tottenham.
The return of key players Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze from injuries has added dynamism and firepower to the attack. Their impact was evident in the recent 5-2 victory over West Ham, demonstrating the lethal potential of this rejuvenated side. Palace have averaged a healthy 1.63 goals per game in their last eight league matches, often finding the net first away from home (47% of the time). Fulham haven’t shied away from going forward either.
With both teams boasting attacking managers who prioritise playing on the front foot, this encounter at Craven Cottage promises to be an open and entertaining affair.
