There are two matches to be played in the English Premier League on Monday the 2nd of November. The early kick off is between Fulham and West Bromwich Albion at Craven Cottage.
The hosts begin the weekend bottom of the table with just a single point to their name while the visitors are in 17th place on 3 points.
Fulham have found life tough in the Premier League so far this season and have yet to pick up a victory. Last weekend they played at home against Crystal Palace and fell a goal behind after only 8 minutes. Crystal Palace doubled their lead in the 63rd minute and despite pulling a goal back in injury time Fulham lost for the fifth time in the league this season.
Previous defeats have come at home against Arsenal and Aston Villa plus away against Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers. The only positive for Fulham has been the 1-1 draw at Sheffield United, a team level on points with them in the table.
Trends show there have been 3 straight home losses in Premier League for Fulham. They have conceded 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 6 Premier League games including all 3 home matches this season. Fulham have scored just a single goal at home in the Premier League.
West Bromwich Albion make the trip to Craven Cottage on the back of a 1-1 draw at Brighton and Hove Albion last week. It appeared as though The Baggies were going to lose the game 1-0 but Karlan Grant struck with a late goal to give them a share of the spoils. That result means West Bromwich Albion are undefeated in 3 of their last 4 Premier League matches.
In addition to the draw at Brighton, West Bromwich Albion have picked up a point against Chelsea and Burnley at home. However, like their opponents, West Bromwich Albion have yet to win a Premier League game this season.
Trends show West Bromwich Albion have won just 1 of their last 12 matches in all competitions. They have failed to keep a clean sheet away from home in the Premier League, conceding a total of 8 goals in 3 games. West Bromwich Albion have conceded 1 or more goals in all of their last 10 away games against Fulham in all competitions.
Team news and Fulham will be without the suspended Aboubakar Kamara following his sending off against Crystal Palace. Joachim Andersen, Joshua Onomah, Kenny Tete, and Terence Kongolo are injured.
West Bromwich Albion are without the injured duo of Hal Robson-Kanu and Sam Field. Every other player should be fit and available for Slaven Bilic.
This is a huge game for both teams who are aiming to pick up their first win of the season. However, with so much at stake it could easily end level with under 2.5 goals scored.
