Only two Premier League home games for Fulham so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

Fulham are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Arsenal. The first defeat after going unbeaten in three league matches.

The talented striker Mitrović bettered all others in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.53 out of 10. Mitrović scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Crawley Town in the Carabao Cup.
