Fulham vs Oldham
FA Cup 2018-19
Venue: Craven Cottage
Date: Sunday 6 January, 2019
Kick-off: 2pm GMT
Fulham will look to take a breather from their tough Premier League run as Claudio Ranieri's side begin their FA Cup campaign against Oldham.
The relegation battlers face the League Two side for the first time this century as they look to go better than their Cup run last season, which ended at this stage with a home defeat to Southampton.
The west Londoners have not made it past the quarter-finals since 2002 and have not made the final since 1975.
Team news
Alfie Mawson remains Fulham's only senior absentee for Sunday's FA Cup fixture at home to League Two Oldham.
The defender has started rehabilitation on a knee injury, but it remains unclear how long he will need to be passed fit.
Loanee Timothy Fosu-Mensah also remains at the club, despite speculation he could be returning to Manchester United.
Provisional squad: Rico, Bettinelli, Fabri, Fosu-Mensah, Christie, Odoi, Chambers, Ream, Ayite, Bryan, Seri, Johansen, De La Torre, Anguissa, McDonald, Kebano, R Sessegnon, S Sessegnon, Schurrle, Vietto, Mitrovic, Fonte, Cairney, Kamara.
Score prediction: Fulham 4-0 Oldham
Ranieri will have been thankful of a straight-forward draw for the Cottagers; while Premier League survival is obviously the priority, a place in the fourth round surely beckons.
