With seven home Championship games in a row without a win, the Fulham fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Sheffield United game long ago, can be stopped today.

Fabio Carvalho (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.44/10. Carvalho scored one goal, served one assist, hit four key passes and had 28 successful passes (of 35 total).

In the preceding match a 5-1 victory visiting Huddersfield Town.
