Fulham vs West Brom: Premier League preview
ulham will be desperate to pick up their first win of the Premier League season when they host fellow newcomers West Brom on Monday night.
Scott Parker’s side have taken just one point from their first six games, that coming in a 1-1 draw against fellow strugglers Sheffield United.
West Brom are also yet to secure their first win since earning automatic promotion from the Championship last season.
They have, however, made a better fist of things, with three draws in their opening six matches to sit just outside the relegation zone.
Fulham vs West Brom is scheduled for a 5:30pm GMT kick-off on Monday, November 2, 2020.
The match will be behind closed doors at Craven Cottage with no fans due to be present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.
The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Box Office for a fee of £14.95.
Scott Parker could have Joachim Andersen back earlier than expected after he returned to training this week, but Neeskens Kebano is out.
Ademola Lookman is likely to support Aleksandar Mitrovic again after impressing against Crystal Palace.
Prediction: Fulham 2-1 West Brom
This is a huge game for Fulham’s survival hopes, even at this early stage in the season, and Scott Parker has admitted as much. His side may just edge this.
