THE PREDICTION
Fulham finally managed to muster their first point of the season during their encounter with Sheffield United, although they looked the better side, controlling the game towards the latter stages and were unlucky to concede so late on in the game. Although Crystal Palace pose a different threat, Scott Parker will hope his side can take the positives from their last game and build upon them against the Eagles. Zaha continued to add to his goal tally for the season, now with four goals to his name, but that was the sole positive from Palace’s match against Brighton, in a game which saw Graham Potter’s side dominate for large spells of the game. Palace were lucky to come away with a draw and they know they have to improve come their visit to Craven Cottage, but it will be difficult against a Fulham side who are desperate to build on their previous match and finally achieve their much-craved win. It will be a close game and maybe one stretch too far for Zaha to continue to bail out his side. A home win by a one-goal margin could be a possibility.
