Fulham Preview – Can the Cottagers avoid a third defeat in four?

Marco Silva has made a strong start at Craven Cottage, guiding Fulham to five wins from eight Championship matches. However, the Cottagers, who are the title favourites, have not had it all their own way of late.

After a shock defeat at Blackpool, Fulham struck back with an impressive win on the road in midweek, thumping Birmingham City 4-1 at St Andrew’s. However, they suffered a second defeat in three last time out, losing 2-1 at home to Reading.

Our betting prediction:
Both teams to score
7/10

In the previous round of the Carabao Cup, Silva’s side picked up a 2-0 win in Birmingham, with Jay Stansfield and Antonee Robinson getting the goals. Can they secure another cup victory on Tuesday night?

Leeds United Preview – Will United’s Premier League qualities shine through?

Leeds United have had a mixed bag of results at the start of this season. After six league and cup matches, Marcelo Bielsa’s boys have won one, drawn three and lost two. In the Premier League, United have taken just three points from a possible 15.

Leeds’ only victory of the season was an easy success over Crewe Alexandra in the previous round of the Carabao Cup. England international Kalvin Phillips opened the scoring, and Jack Harrison scored twice late on in the 3-0 win.
