Fulham rejected any assumptions that the tournament was already over after breaking a streak of five consecutive defeats with a 3-1 victory over the relegation-threatened “Everton” in the last round. Boss Marco Silva welcomed the “great achievement” of his team, which gained 42 points and almost guaranteed safety at such an early stage. Now the team hopes to spoil the day of another survival-seeking team. Returning to their home stadium could give the much-needed push for the “cottagers”, as they last won at this stadium in the FA Cup match against today’s opponent. Mitrovic, Kurzawa, and Kebano, who has an Achilles injury, will not be able to play today.
It was a rather gloomy Monday for Leeds as a devastating 1-6 loss to Liverpool resulted in the Whites suffering their first defeat in the league with a minimum of five goals conceded. This contributed to a shocking 16 goals conceded in April, which is at least eight more than any other Premier League team in the same period and more than they conceded from the beginning of 2023 to the end of March. The visitors have seven wins and eight draws, which corresponds to 29 points and 16th position in the league table. In the upcoming duel, Dallas and Adams will not be able to play, with Adams having a thigh injury.
