Fulham vs Crystal Palace – Predicted lineup and team news

Fulham return to Craven Cottage this Sunday, looking to bounce back from a heartbreaking defeat.

Marco Silva’s men lost 5-4 to Manchester City in a midweek thriller. They became just the third team in history to lose a home game after scoring four goals. However, they must now focus on a tough London derby against Crystal Palace. The visitors possess one of the strongest defensive records in the Premier League.

Therefore, the hosts must tighten up at the back to secure a positive result. Silva will likely make adjustments to his starting XI for this encounter. A victory would move them further away from the relegation zone. Consequently, selection decisions in attack could prove pivotal against such a resolute opponent.

Marco Silva will be without key full-back Antonee Robinson due to a knee problem. Additionally, striker Rodrigo Muniz remains sidelined with a thigh injury. These are the only two confirmed absentees for the home side.

Nevertheless, Samuel Chukwueze is pushing for a start after his impressive cameo against Manchester City. The winger scored twice and boasts the best minutes-per-goal ratio in Premier League history. Consequently, he could replace Harry Wilson on the right flank to provide more attacking threat.
