Fulham have won just two of their last 13 Premier League matches against Crystal Palace (D6 L5), with both wins coming at Selhurst Park in 2022-23 and 2024-25.

Crystal Palace lost their first away Premier League game at Fulham in 2004-05 but are since unbeaten in seven at Craven Cottage (W4 D3).

Fulham are looking to avoid losing three successive Premier League London derbies for the first time since April 2023, after losing 3-0 to Arsenal in May and 3-2 at home to Chelsea on MD1 this season.

Crystal Palace have won six of their last 10 away London derby matches in the Premier League (D3 L1), as many as they had in their previous 44 (D15 L23).

Fulham have lost 3-2 to Chelsea and 1-0 to Sunderland this season. Only in 1951-52 and 2020-21 have they lost each of their first three games in a top-flight campaign, being relegated on both occasions.

After defeat to Manchester City last time out, Crystal Palace are looking to avoid losing their opening three Premier League matches of a campaign for the first time since 2017-18.

Crystal Palace have conceded at least two goals in each of their last eight Premier League matches – they’ve never done so in nine league matches in a row in their league history.

Alex Iwobi could make his 100th Premier League appearance for Fulham in this match. Having played 123 times for Everton and 100 times for Arsenal, he will be the fifth player to make 100+ appearances for three different clubs in the competition after Gary Speed (Leeds, Newcastle, Bolton), Rory Delap (Derby, Southampton, Stoke), Gareth Barry (Aston Villa, Man City, Everton) and James Milner (Aston Villa, Man City, Liverpool).

Fulham’s Gonzalo García has made 29 off-ball runs in behind opponent’s defences in the Premier League this season, with only Bryan Mbeumo (39) and Kai Havertz (31) making more.

Crystal Palace boss Pierre Sage has lost both of his opening two Premier League games in charge of the club – never before in his managerial career has he lost three league games in a row.
