Fulham vs Leeds United – Predicted lineup and team news

Fulham enter their home clash with Leeds United under significant pressure to secure their first victory of the Premier League season.

The Cottagers headed into the international break full of frustration after a 2-0 defeat to West London rivals Chelsea, a match mired in VAR controversy that compounded their winless start.

However, they will see this as a prime opportunity. They face a newly-promoted Leeds side that arrives at Craven Cottage weakened by a host of injuries, giving Marco Silva’s side a clear chance to get their campaign up and running.

Fulham team news

Marco Silva has reported no new injury concerns, which allows him to field a consistent and familiar lineup. This cohesion is a major boost for a team searching for form. As a result, the manager can focus on fine-tuning tactics rather than being forced into personnel changes.

The primary area for improvement, however, is the defence. Fulham have been plagued by defensive errors this season. Specifically, they are on a 12-match run without a clean sheet in the Premier League.

Furthermore, their indiscipline has been costly, as they have conceded a penalty in each of their last five games. Midfielder Sasa Lukic, who leads the league in fouls committed, will need to be particularly careful to avoid extending that unwanted record.
