Team News

Fulham
Preston
  • Tom Cairney is back fit and available for selection. He will likely slot in behind Rui Fonte up top for Preston's visit to Craven Cottage.
  • Rafa Soares is back in training following a lengthy ankle injury, however, a start here may be one step too far.
  • Lucas Piazon and Sheyi Ojo are both ruled out of this clash through injury.
  • Ben Pearson, John Welsh and Paul Gallagher are all back fit following injury lay-offs, but only Pearson looks likely to head straight back into the starting eleven.
  • Right-back Darnell Fisher is suspended for the trip to West London, while defender Tommy Spurr will be absent through injury.

Prediction

  • Heading into the international break off the back of consecutive league defeats, Fulham are starting to hit their stride in the Championship and will be looking for another three points here.
  • Preston look like the most well-drilled side in the Championship this term and have the best defence in the league, conceding just six goals in their opening 11 games. Showing some potency down the other end needs to be the priority now.
  • The visitors will be fearless heading to Craven Cottage, however, with the threat of Tom Cairney and Rafa Soares going forward, Preston will need to be at their defensive best for this encounter.
