Fulham are still seeking their first win of the new Premier League season, with newly promoted Leeds set to visit Craven Cottage on Saturday (10 am ET).
WATCH — Fulham vs Leeds
The Cottagers will probably say they should have won away to Chelsea last time out, if not for an errant VAR decision that stole a perfectly good first goal away from 18-year-old Josh King and sent the west London derby in an entirely different direction altogether. Even still, Brighton (away), Manchester United (home) and Chelsea (away) is quite a dicey run of fixtures to start the season and Marco Silva’s side will feel good about the two points they earned.
Leeds, meanwhile, have scored just one goal in their three games, but do already have a win (and a draw) on the board because they were able to do something that Fulham haven’t yet: keep a clean sheet (two, in fact). Leeds’ scoreless draw with Newcastle before the international break was a tactical gridlock with barely 1.0 xG between the two sides combined, but demonstrated a solid defensive foundation upon which Daniel Farke’s side can build — something that was missing the last time Leeds came up and rather quickly went back down.

Fulham vs Leeds prediction
With Leeds happy to defend most of the game, Fulham don’t exactly have the personnel to break down a deep block, but do they have the discipline to not leave themselves open on the counter once they lose the ball? Fulham 0-1 Leeds.
