OUR RECORD AT FULHAM
The Reds have emerged victorious on each of our last eight top-flight visits to Fulham, a run stretching back to 2011.
Our last three wins against the Cottagers, since they were promoted in 2022, have all been tight affairs.
A stoppage-time effort from Alejandro Garnacho secured all three points in our final game before the winter World Cup, while a similarly late Bruno Fernandes goal settled the next encounter, 12 months on.
January’s meeting was drifting to a goalless draw when Lisandro Martinez scored from long range with 12 minutes left on the clock.
