Premier League Showdown: Fulham vs Brighton

While the hosts sit 12th, Brighton could leap to 4th place, potentially overtaking Manchester City, with a victory. Both teams aim to build on promising season starts, setting the stage for an intense battle under the lights at Craven Cottage.

Fulham: Injury News and Form

Fulham are without suspended midfielders Tom Cairney and Sasa Lukic. Joachim Andersen and Harrison Reed remain sidelined, though Jorge Cuenca could return after missing the 1-1 draw at Tottenham last weekend.

The Cottagers will look to keep a Premier League home clean sheet for the first time in 11 games, while their attack seeks to match a 65-year-old club record of scoring in 13 consecutive top-flight matches.

Former Liverpool player Harry Wilson is one to watch, with two goals and two assists in his last four Premier League games against Brighton.

Brighton: Injury News and Form

Brighton welcome Carlos Baleba back from suspension, with Kaoru Mitoma and Yasin Ayari available after minor injuries. Joel Veltman could feature, but James Milner, Adam Webster, Ferdi Kadioglu, and Jack Hinshelwood remain out. Solly March edges closer to returning after a year-long absence due to a knee injury.

The Seagulls, enjoying their best-ever Premier League start with 23 points from 13 games, could secure their fourth away win of the season tonight. Kaoru Mitoma is key and could score in three consecutive league games for the first time.
