This will be a tight one. Leeds have been my favourite team to watch this season – and I feel like I say that every time I talk about them – but they’ve not won or scored in their last three Premier League games.

Not scoring is a big problem but when you watch them, they always have chances! They just aren’t clinical enough when it matters.

Leeds have a few issues at the moment, especially at set-pieces where they’ve conceded the most in the Premier League. They’ve also lost their last three away games which is worrying.

As for Fulham, they’re the lowest home scorers in the Premier League. They’ve only scored eight in 15 games. They draw a lot of games, however, they are fairly hard to beat. They’ve lost just five of the last 18 games.

The wheels came off a bit last week against Manchester City, however, that happens to most teams who play City!

Due to Scott Parker’s side being hard to beat, I’m going for a Fulham win.  I think Marcelo Bielsa’s men are just starting to tire and I fancy Fulham to put the pressure on Newcastle and Brighton in the Premier League.

I’ll go with Fulham to win 2-1 and Bobby Decordova-Reid to score anytime.
