Prediction: 2-1
West Bromwich
Second position in the Championship table will be at stake when Fulham and WBA go head to head at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon. The Cottagers are on a three-game winning run ahead of the derby, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has netted 15 goals in 14 appearances in the league this term, while Ivan Cavaleiro, Fabio Carvalho, and Terence Kongolo miss out with injuries.
The Baggies, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Bristol City. WBA, though, have been struggling on the travels of late, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. All Mowatt, Rayhaan Tulloch, and Dara O’Shea are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team.
