Fulham will be looking to snap out of their mini slump when they welcome Swansea City to Craven Cottage for a midweek English Championship fixture. The hosts have not been at their best lately but a solid home record will give them confidence against a struggling Swansea team.
Fulham were held to a 1-1 draw at Bristol City in their previous Championship fixture. They took the lead through Aleksandar Mitrovic but were often vulnerable on the counter and conceded the equaliser midway through the second half.
It has been a difficult few weeks for Fulham, who have claimed just one win in their last four Championship matches and slipped to fourth on the table. Their recent slump can be attributed to a shaky defence that has seen them fail to keep a clean sheet in their last four Championship matches.
The good news for manager Marco Silva is Fulham are returning to Craven Cottage where they have a solid record. They have won two of their last three home matches and will be keen to recapture the form that saw them keep clean sheets in both victories.
Swansea City travel to Craven Cottage off the back of a 1-0 victory over Huddersfield Town last time out in the Championship. Joel Piroe's early effort proved to be the difference as they were able to hold on for the win.
It was the first win in five Championship matches for Swansea City, who have not been at their best this season. They are currently down in the bottom half of the table, just five points above the relegation zone.
Russell Martin’s men often struggle on their travels and are winless in their last three away matches across all competitions. They have suffered two defeats in that run and have conceded eight goals.
