Fatigue could be a factor for Marco Silva's Fulham and Crystal Palace on Sunday
  • Fulham suffered a dramatic 5-4 defeat to Manchester City last time out

  • Crystal Palace have won two of their last three Premier League matches

  • Recommended bet: Draw

Fulham came so close to sealing a remarkable comeback against Manchester City on Tuesday.

The Cottagers trailed 5-1 after 54 minutes, but three goals in 21 minutes ensured it was a nervy last 10 minutes for City.

The results left the club 15th in the table, just five points away from the relegation zone heading into the weekend.

Palace sealed three points against Burnley on Wednesday and it was a much-needed win after losing to Manchester United last Sunday.

Oliver Glasner will be looking to see his side move into the top four with a win and hope other results go his way.

Team news

Marco Silva heads into this clash missing just two first team players.

Antonee Robinson could be back within weeks after suffering with a knee injury, but it will be February at the earliest until Rodrigo Muniz is back on the pitch.

Glasner will be keeping an eye on Borna Sosa, who is recovering from a knock.

If he proves his fitness, the defender will be involved but Cheick Doucoure will not be available, while Chadi Riad, Caleb Kporha and Rio Cardines will also play no part in the clash at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

The stats

Since the start of the 2018/19 season, these two clubs have met each other 11 times, once in the FA Cup and 10 times in the Premier League.

Palace have won five of those matches, while Fulham have emerged victorious on just two occasions.

Four of the previous eight meetings finished as draws.

Palace do have the second-best defensive record in the top flight, behind only Arsenal.

Fulham on the other hand, have conceded 22 goals, with only five teams conceding more this season.

The Cottagers have drawn just twice this season, but the Eagles have recorded five stalemates from 14 games in the top flight.

Prediction

Despite battling on both domestic and European fronts this season, Palace are adjusting well as they sit on the cusp of a top four spot.

In Europe, the Eagles occupy 18th place, but they should have enough to seal a place in the Conference League knockout stages.

Fulham showed glimpses of their best against City, but it was too little, too late to snatch a point.

With the fixtures piling up for both teams, expect this game to be a tense affair.

As such, a point apiece could prove to be a good result.

Back a draw at 9/4 on LiveScore Bet.
