Crystal Palace are unbeaten in seven visits to Craven Cottage, dating back to 2005, already winning there twice this year, 2-0 in February and 3-0 the following month in the FA Cup.
Fulham vs Crystal Palace preview
Can Fulham climb away from the relegation zone? On Tuesday night, the Cottagers almost pulled off one of the most memorable comebacks in Premier League history. They found themselves 5-1 down at home to Manchester City after 54 minutes, seemingly set for a heavy defeat. However, Alex Iwobi pulled one back soon after, before Samu Chukwueze scored twice in six minutes, setting up a grand stand finish on the banks of the River Thames, but no equaliser was forthcoming.
So, a defeat for Marco Silva's side, but plenty of positives to take as they go in search of points. Before this, the Whites had won three of their previous four, including beating Tottenham last Saturday night, with both Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson on target in the first six minutes of a 2-1 victory. Having enjoyed home wins over Wolves and Sunderland beforehand, Fulham start the weekend 15th, five points clear of danger, so can they claim a precious win here?
As for Crystal Palace, they beat Burnley in a rather scrappy game on Wednesday; Daniel Muñoz the night's only scorer on the cusp of half time at Turf Moor. This was an important victory for Oliver Glasner's side, following back-to-back defeats at the hands of Strasbourg and Man United.
Nevertheless, in purely Premier League terms, Palace have won three of their last five, so sit all the way up in fifth, thereby on course for their best finish since coming third in 1991. As already mentioned, the Eagles boast an imperious recent record at Craven Cottage, so will they win in SW6 for the third time in 2025?

Fulham team news
Antonee Robinson and Rodrigo Muniz remain sidelined long-term, while Marco Silva will almost certainly be pleased this match is on Sunday, following an energy-sapping mid-week fixture.
Samu Chukwueze's double off the bench against Manchester City will surely earn him a start this time, with fellow-Tuesday night scorer Emile Smith Rowe the most-likely man to drop out.
Fulham predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace: (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Lukić, Wilson, Iwobi, Chukwueze; Jiménez.
Fulham player to watch vs Crystal Palace
Raúl Jiménez has three goals to his name this season, but has never netted in 11 meetings with Crystal Palace, the most times he's come up against any opponent without netting, so can he change that on Sunday?
Crystal Palace team news
Ismaïla Sarr is sidelined due to an ankle injury suffered against Mancheser United last Sunday, so Daichi Kamada will continue as part of the front three, with Jefferson Lerma in midfield.
In fact, Oliver Glasner does not often tinker with his team, so an unchanged lineup is forecast. Right-wing-back Daniel Muñoz will sit out next Sunday's clash with Manchester City if cautioned.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Fulham: (4-3-3): Henderson; Richards, Guéhi, Lacroix; Muñoz, Lerma, Wharton, Mitchell; Yéremy, Kamada, Mateta.
Crystal Palace player to watch vs Fulham
Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored nine goals so far this season, but is looking to score for the very first time against Fulham, with this set to be his seventh attempt to do so.
Fulham vs Crystal Palace prediction
We are backing Crystal Palace for victory. The Eagles boast an excellent record at Craven Cottage and are frankly the stronger of these two London clubs: Fulham 1-2 Crystal Palace.
