Crystal Palace v Fulham: match preview

Fulham have put together an excellent run of eight points from four matches to move within striking distance of safety. Newcastle are three points ahead in 17th but face a resurgent Wolves side, so defeat could be on the cards. Goals are still at a premium for Scott Parker’s side, though, and Roy Hodgson will be scheming to keep it tight and hit Fulham on the counter as they go in search of another vital set of three points. Crystal Palace will also be looking for Jean-Philippe Mateta to build on his fine night’s work against Brighton on Monday. Graham Searles
