Prediction: 2-0
Blackburn Rovers
All eyes will be on Craven Cottage when Fulham and Blackburn Rovers face each other in the Championship round 36. The Cottagers aim to cement top position in the standings, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic, who helped the capital club beat Cardiff City at the weekend, while Terence Kongolo should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers. However, away win should not be considered as key attacker Ben Brereton Diaz remains on the sidelines with an ankle problem. To make things even worse for the visiting side, all Tayo Edun, Ian Poveda, and Bradley Dack continue to miss out with injuries.
