Fulham will be desperate to pick up their first win of the Premier League season when they host fellow newcomers West Brom tonight.
Scott Parker’s side have taken just one point from their first six games, that coming in a 1-1 draw against fellow strugglers Sheffield United.
West Brom are also yet to secure their first win since earning automatic promotion from the Championship last season.
They have, however, made a better fist of things, with three draws in their opening six matches to sit just outside the relegation zone.
Date, time and venue
Fulham vs West Brom is scheduled for a 5:30pm GMT kick-off tonight (Monday, November 2, 2020).
The match will be held behind closed doors at Craven Cottage with no fans due to be present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.
How to watch
The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Box Office for a fee of £14.95.
Team news
Scott Parker could have Joachim Andersen back earlier than expected after he returned to training this week, but Neeskens Kebano and Kenny Tete are out, while Terence Kongolo is still getting up to speed following his permanent move from Huddersfield.
Ademola Lookman is likely to support Aleksandar Mitrovic again after impressing against Crystal Palace.
As for West Brom, defender Dara O’Shea is fit again after an ankle injury, but Sam Field (knee) and Hal Robson-Kanu (broken arm) are not expected to return until after the November international break.
Prediction: Fulham 2-1 West Brom
This is a huge game for Fulham’s survival hopes, even at this early stage in the season, and Scott Parker has admitted as much.
His side may just edge this.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
The two sides met twice in the Championship last season, with both games ending in draws.
In fact, the same happened the last time they were in the Premier League together, in 2013/14, and six of the last eight meetings have been draws.
It’s been more than a decade since West Brom last beat Fulham.
