Fulham vs Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have won four consecutive top-flight away games for the first time. It’s also the first time the Eagles have ever won four consecutive away league games without conceding.

Fulham have lost two of their last three Premier League home games (W1), as many as in their first 11 at Craven Cottage this term (W4 D5).

Joachim Andersen’s own goal put Crystal Palace 1-0 ahead. He’s the first player to score a Premier League own goal against a side he previously played for in the competition since Emiliano Martínez (vs Arsenal in February 2023), while he’s just the second Fulham player to do so after Aaron Hughes against Aston Villa in February 2008.

Following their 2-0 win at Selhurst Park in November, Fulham are looking to complete the league double over Crystal Palace for the first time since the 2000-01 second tier campaign under Jean Tigana.

Having won four of their first seven Premier League games against Fulham (D1 L2), Crystal Palace are now winless in their last six against the Cottagers (D4 L2). They are, however, unbeaten in their last five at Craven Cottage (W2 D3).

After a 10 game unbeaten run in Premier League London derbies, Fulham lost their last such match 3-2 against West Ham. They’re unbeaten in seven London derby matches at home however (W4 D3), having lost five of six at Craven Cottage before this (D1).

Having been winless in 13 away London derbies in the Premier League across 2023 and 2024 (D6 L7), Crystal Palace won their last such match 2-0 at West Ham in January. They’ve not won consecutive London derbies on the road in a top-flight campaign since beating Wimbledon and Spurs in 1997-98.

Fulham have won their last two Premier League games, beating both Newcastle and Nottingham Forest by a 2-1 scoreline. It’s the fifth time since the start of last season the Cottagers have won back-to-back league games, but they haven’t won more in a row since a run of four in January 2023.
