Fulham vs Crystal Palace Preview

Fulham host Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon in an English Premier League encounter between two sides displaying contrasting recent form. Fulham’s most recent outing ended in a thrilling 5-4 defeat at home to Manchester City on December 2nd. Prior to that setback, they recorded consecutive victories, beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 away on November 29th and Sunderland 1-0 at home on November 22nd. Earlier in this sequence, they suffered a 2-0 loss away at Everton on November 8th, before securing a 3-0 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on November 1st. Despite the entertaining clash with City, Fulham have collected nine points from their last five matches, demonstrating attacking prowess but defensive vulnerabilities.

Crystal Palace travel to West London buoyed by their most recent result, a hard-fought 1-0 away victory at Burnley on December 3rd. Prior to that success, they endured back-to-back defeats, losing 2-1 at home to Manchester United on November 30th and 2-1 away at Strasbourg in European competition on November 27th. Earlier in this sequence, they claimed an impressive 2-0 away win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on November 22nd. Their run began with a goalless draw at home to Brighton on November 9th. Palace have managed seven points from their last five fixtures, showing resilience in securing results on the road.

The head-to-head record favours Crystal Palace, who have won two of the last five meetings alongside two draws and one Fulham victory. Most recently, Palace claimed a commanding 3-0 away win at Craven Cottage in March 2025, also securing a 2-0 away victory in February 2025. Fulham’s sole success came with a 2-0 away win at Selhurst Park in November 2024.

Fulham will be without Antonee Robinson and Rodrigo Muniz, both ruled out through injury. Crystal Palace face a significantly worse injury situation with Cheick Doucouré, Chadí Riad, and Caleb Kporha all confirmed absentees, while Ismaïla Sarr remains doubtful. The visitors’ squad depth is severely tested with multiple key players unavailable across various positions.

The match kicks off at 16:30 GMT and will be broadcast live in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Go UK, with streaming also available via NOW, SKY GO Extra, and Sky Ultra HD. American viewers can watch on USA Network, Telemundo Deportes En Vivo, NBC Sports App, nbcsports.com, and Telemundo. Spanish audiences have access through DAZN Spain and Movistar+, while Canadian fans can tune in via DAZN Canada and fuboTV Canada.

Injured Players:

Fulham: Antonee Robinson (Out), Rodrigo Muniz (Out)

Crystal Palace: Cheick Doucouré (Out), Chadí Riad (Out), Caleb Kporha (Out), Ismaïla Sarr (Doubtful)

Crystal Palace face significantly greater injury concerns with three players ruled out and one doubtful, depleting their squad options across defensive and attacking positions. Fulham’s injury situation is more manageable with just two confirmed absentees, giving them a potential advantage in squad depth for this fixture.
