Fulham, on the other hand, is still seeking their first Premier League win of the season, having managed to secure draws against both Brighton and Manchester United.

Liam Delap is expected to start as striker, with Joao Pedro in the No. 10 role. Malo Gusto is expected to retain his place at right-back over Reece James, with Tosin Adarabioyo and Trevoh Chalobah in central defense. Nicolas Jackson has reportedly moved to Bayern Munich on loan, while Christopher Nkunku has joined AC Milan.
