Fulham vs Crystal Palace Premier League Match Preview or Key Statistics 📊
Fulham and Crystal Palace last met in the Premier League in 2018-19, with Palace winning both matches 2-0.
Crystal Palace are looking to win three consecutive league matches against Fulham for the first time since October 1930. Fulham — who are on a record run of 11 consecutive top-flight London derby defeats - have lost 20 of their last 23 London derbies in the Premier League (W2 D1).
However, two of the three occasions they’ve avoided defeat in that run have been against Crystal Palace. Fulham picked up their first draw in 24 Premier League games last time out at Sheffield United (W45 L18), taking the lead for the first time this season courtesy of Ademola Lookman’s strike.
Fulham have lost their last three home Premier League games by a 3+ goal margin, scoring none and conceding 10 goals. No team in top-flight history has ever lost four consecutive home matches by a margin of at least three goals.
Crystal Palace have keptjust two clean sheets in their last 28 Premier League London derbies - however, both of these came in victories against Fulham in the 2018-19 season. Crystal Palace have failed to score in six of their last seven away games in all competitions (W1 D1 L5), with the only exception in that run being a 3-1 victory at Manchester United.
Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic has lost all 11 Premier League London derbies in which he's played, the highest 100% loss rate in the competition's history. Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha has scored four goals in his five Premier League games this season, as many as he netted in 38 appearances last season.
His four goals have been worth five points to the Eagles so far this term. There is a gap in age of33 years and 65 days between Fulham boss Scott Parker and Crystal Palace’s Roy Hodgson, the second-biggest gap in age between two English managers for a Premier League game after the 35 years and 38 days gap between Hodgson and Swansea's Leon Britton in December 2017. indeed, this age gap is greater than the age of any player to have ever appeared for Scott Parker in his managerial career so far.
