Fulham Struggling for EPL Consistency
Fulham’s long-term Premier League form is unconvincing. The west Londoners have won just two of their previous nine, losing five.
Alvaro Arbeloa has struggled to improve Fulham’s consistency. They are winless in six of their last nine games in all competitions.
The Cottagers started the new Premier League season with back-to-back defeats. Fulham lost 3-2 at home in their opener against Chelsea.
Arbeloa’s side also lost 1-0 at Sunderland on Sunday. Fulham were outplayed, had no shots on target, allowed 2.02 XG and conceded in the 75th minute.
Sage’s Crystal Palace on the Downturn
Crystal Palace are unconvincing in the Premier League and haven’t won an away league game since March.
The Eagles are on a three-match losing streak in all competitions, starting with a 3-0 defeat at Freiburg. Palace then lost 2-0 at Everton in the Premier League, facing 16 shots.
The south Londoners' losing run continued after a heavy 4-1 home loss to Man City. Palace had 0.66 XG and Yeremy Pino scored a second-half consolation goal.
