Fulham

Fulham kept their unbeaten streak alive on the weekend but dropped points at home to Wolverhampton in a result that seriously impacts any hopes of a Top 4 finish this season. 

Super sub Manor Solomon was the hero for Fulham, coming on in the second half and scoring in the 62nd minute to save the day for the hosts. Solomon has three goals in seven matches this season and could soon find a place in the Starting XI if he continues to provide a spark in attack for manager Marco Silva. However, with second half goals in each of the last three matches, it might be best for Solomon to come off the bench to save the day in the final moments or to secure an insurance tally. 

The return of Mitrovic to the squad comes at a perfect time for Fulham. Mitrovic missed the club’s last two matches and if it wasn’t for Solomon’s late heroics, they would have failed to score in both of those fixtures. With the return of Mitrovic and the sudden breakthrough from Solomon, Fulham could be dangerous in attack over the final months of their campaign.

Leeds United

New manager Javi Gracia will enter the FA Cup trip to Craven Cottage feeling good about his squad’s recent result in the Premier League relegation battle. Leeds won a crucial ‘six-pointer’ against fellow relegation candidates Southampton, taking a 1-0 win at home to give the club their first win since beating Accrington Stanley in the fourth round of the cup. 

Leeds face a significant step up in competition from Southampton as well as their previous opponents in this year’s FA Cup. Beating Cardiff and Accrington Stanley were good moments in an otherwise disappointing season for Leeds but ultimately were expected results against lower league opposition. Fulham sit sixth in the Premier League and already beat Leeds in October, making the visitors well deserved underdogs in this matchup. 

Goalscoring has been an issue for Leeds since sacking Jesse Marsch. Since scoring twice in a 2-2 draw with Manchester United in their first match post-Marsch, they have scored just once in their last three matches. That is a concern for Gracia as they are facing a Fulham side with a tidy defense led by centreback Tim Ream, who will be motivated to put forward a strong performance against the crop of American teammates at Leeds.
