  • Leeds have picked up four of their five victories at Elland Road on their return to the Premier League

  • Only Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton have kept clean sheets against Fulham this season

  • Recommended bet: Leeds to win and both teams to score

Leeds and Fulham are both in fine form in the Premier League as they prepare to face each other at Elland Road on Saturday.

A run of one defeat in eight league games has eased Leeds's relegation fears and they won 3-1 at Derby in the FA Cup third round last weekend.

Fulham also saw off Championship opponents in the cup, coming from behind to beat Middlesbrough 3-1, and their last two league results were a 2-2 draw with Liverpool and a 2-1 win over Chelsea.

Team news

Leeds should have defenders Joe Rodon and Sam Byram available after injuries. Jayden Bogle faces a fitness test but Daniel James and Sebastiaan Bornauw remain sidelined.

Fulham will assess the fitness of Josh King and Kenny Tete but striker Rodrigo Muniz is injured. Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey and Samuel Chukwueze are involved in Nigeria's Africa Cup of Nations third-placed play-off against Egypt.

The stats

Four of Leeds' five Premier League victories this season have come at Elland Road.

Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored eight goals in his last nine appearances for Leeds.

Leeds have lost only one of their last eight league matches.

Fulham have lost only one of their last eight games in all competitions.

Four of the Cottagers' nine Premier League wins this term were by a 1-0 scoreline.

Both teams have scored in nine of Fulham's last 11 league and cup matches.

Prediction

Home form is proving vital to Leeds' Premier League survival hopes and Daniel Farke's men can claim an entertaining victory over Fulham at Elland Road.

Leeds beat Chelsea 3-1 and Crystal Palace 4-1 last month, helping them pull clear of the relegation zone, and they also claimed home and away draws against champions Liverpool recently.

Their first home fixture of 2026 ended in a 1-1 draw with Manchester United and they led Newcastle 3-2 at St James' Park before the Magpies scored twice in injury-time.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been in sparkling form for Leeds but Fulham have a red-hot striker of their own in the form of experienced Mexico international Raul Jimenez.

His goals fired the Cottagers to 1-0 wins over Nottingham Forest and West Ham either side of Christmas and he opened the scoring in last week's 2-1 home victory over Chelsea.

Fulham have failed to find the net in only three of their 26 matches in all competitions this season so backing Leeds to win and both teams to score is an appealing bet.

Fulham boss Marco Silva is still missing influential trio Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze and Calvin Bassey, who are at the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria.

His Leeds counterpart Farke should have centre-back Joe Rodon available after injury and home advantage could be a big factor in Saturday's game.

A late own goal from Gabriel Gudmundsson gave Fulham a 1-0 win in September's reverse fixture at Craven Cottage.

However, both teams have improved significantly since then and their second meeting of the campaign should be a higher-quality contest.
