Fulham host Stoke City at Craven Cottage in the EFL Championship on Saturday, with both teams starting off their seasons strongly.
Fulham are currently top of the league on goal difference and have won their last four games across all competitions. Marco Silva’s side will go into the game off the back of a 2-0 win against Birmingham in the League Cup.
The Cottagers will look to continue their impressive run of form when they take on Stoke City on Saturday.
Stoke City are also unbeaten this season and trail Fulham only on goal difference.
Michael O’Neill’s side have won their last three games across all competitions and are going into the game following a 2-0 win against Doncaster in the League Cup earlier this week.
The Potters will know that a win on Saturday could see them end the weekend at the top of the table.
Both sides have it all to play for on Saturday, and that is sure to make for an enthralling matchup.
Fulham vs Stoke City Head-to-Head
Stoke City have a slight advantage going into the game based on the recent head-to-head record between the two sides, having won three of their last five meetings, with Fulham winning the other two.
Fulham came away as 1-0 winners the last time the two sides met back in December 2019. A first-half goal from Bobby Reid was enough to sink Stoke City on the night.
