Fulham Preview – Another comfortable victory for the Cottagers
Fulham have been outstanding over the past six weeks or so. Since a shock 4-1 away loss at Coventry City in early October, the Cottagers have bounced back with seven straight wins, scoring a staggering 25 goals in the process.
Fulham’s stunning form has taken them to the top of the Championship table. Last time out, goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic, Fabio Carvalho, Neeskens Kebano and Harry Wilson gave them an easy 4-1 home win over Barnsley. They stayed at the top after Bournemouth lost at Derby in Sunday’s game.
No team in the Championship have picked up more home points than Fulham. Marco Silva’s men have been sensational at the Cottage, winning seven, drawing one and losing one of nine. The Londoners are the overwhelming favourites to win this one, with the bookies offering just 2/7 for a home victory.
Derby County Preview – Can the Rams build on Bournemouth win?
Derby County are having a pretty miserable season. After suffering another points deduction, the Rams look nailed on for relegation. Despite winning four and drawing nine, Wayne Rooney’s men are on zero points.
Derby picked up a rare win last time out, though. Bournemouth were top of the table before the weekend started, but Tom Lawrence inspired the Rams to a surprise 3-2 home victory over Scott Parker’s Cherries. That was Derby’s first triumph in eight games.

Back in February 2020, these two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Pride Park. The matchup at Craven Cottage earlier that season ended 3-0 to Fulham, with Bobby Decordova-Reid, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Tom Cairney netting.
The pair also squared off in the 2018 Championship play-off semi-finals. Fulham won 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Ryan Sessegnon and Denis Odoi, going through with a 2-1 aggregate victory after a 1-0 away reverse. Fulham then went on to beat Aston Villa in the final.
