Fulham can enhance their European credentials further when they head to Elland Road for Saturday's Premier League showdown with Leeds United.
The Cottagers and the Whites both triumphed in the FA Cup third round over the weekend, the former besting Middlesbrough 3-1 and the latter seeing off Derby County by the same scoreline.
Entertaining the neutrals in recent weeks - and coming from behind to secure a 3-1 knockout success - Fulham have scored and conceded in each of their last four matches after Saturday's FA Cup success over Middlesbrough.
Few were surprised to see the in-form Harry Wilson prolong his hot streak with a goal and assist against the Riverside outfit, shortly after striking the winner against managerless Chelsea in a Premier League West London derby - his seventh top-flight goal of the campaign.
Taking 14 points from the last 18 on offer in the Premier League, Marco Silva's European hopefuls - who occupy ninth spot in the standings - are only two points off fifth-placed Brentford and four back from fourth-placed Liverpool with 17 games to go.
A first continental adventure since the 2011-12 Europa League is very much achievable for the trigger-happy Cottagers, who have now scored in 12 straight games in all competitions, including each of their last 10 in the Premier League.
Furthermore, Fulham have prevailed in each of their last five top-flight games against newly-promoted clubs and edged out Leeds 1-0 at Craven Cottage in September - their fourth straight win over the Whites in all tournaments.
In seventh heaven after a hard-earned 1-1 draw with Manchester United - which extended their unbeaten run in the top flight to seven matches - Leeds' stellar streak finally came to an end in a seven-goal St James' Park spectacular.
Daniel Farke's men could not have suffered a more gut-wrenching defeat to Newcastle United, having fallen victim to the latest winning goal in the Premier League on record - a Harvey Barnes strike timed at 101 minutes and 48 seconds.
In spite of that 4-3 reverse, the 16th-placed hosts hold an eight-point buffer over 18th-placed West Ham United in the relegation zone and are firmly on course for a second straight season of top-flight football, which their recent league and knockout exploits would suggest they deserve.
The Whites fought back from a goal down to confidently dispatch Derby in the FA Cup over the weekend, thus earning their first victory in five games and making it back-to-back away matches with three goals scored.
Leeds now return to a venue where they have suffered just two losses all season long, and the hosts have since strung together a four-match unbeaten run at Elland Road, where both teams have scored in the last eight games played at the ground.
|
-
Fulham have won each of their last three league games against Leeds, their longest ever winning run against the Whites.
-
Leeds United lost their last home league game against Fulham in October 2022 – they’ve never lost consecutive home league matches against the Cottagers.
-
Fulham are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League games against promoted sides (W7 D5), winning each of the last five in a row. Victory here would see them win as many as four games against promoted teams in a single Premier League campaign for the first time since 2004-05.
-
Only Liverpool and Manchester City (both 9) are on longer ongoing unbeaten runs in the Premier League than Fulham (6 – W4 D2), with only Arsenal (16) collecting more points in the competition from the start of that run (13th December) than the Cottagers (14).
-
Fulham are a joint league-high six points better off thanks to goals in the final 10 minutes of Premier League games this season (level with Brighton), earning nine points thanks to goals scored and dropping three thanks to goals conceded.
-
Fulham have scored in each of their last 10 Premier League games (18 in total), only enjoying longer runs in the competition in December 2024 (15 games) and September 2007 (11 games). Indeed, in that time they’ve opened the scoring in seven of those games (W6 D1).
-
Harry Wilson’s winner against Chelsea last time out took his tally to 11 for Premier League goal involvements this season (7 goals, 4 assists), his best return in a single campaign. Indeed, 10 of those have come since the start of November (6 goals, 4 assists), only Erling Haaland (12) and Igor Thiago (11) have more in that time.
-
Leeds lost their last league game to Newcastle United (3-4), though at Elland Road they’re unbeaten in four matches (W2 D2); they last enjoyed a longer run in the same top-flight season in December 2021 under Marcelo Bielsa (W2 D3).
-
After netting just once in his first 10 Premier League appearances for Leeds United, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has since netted eight goals in nine matches; his next goal will see him reach double figures in a top-flight campaign for only the third time after 2020-21 (16) and 2019-20 (13).
-
Leeds’ Anton Stach has initiated 23 open-play sequences that have resulted in a shot in the Premier League this season, only Declan Rice (24) has more, while the German has also made 24 high turnovers in 2025-26, five of which resulting in a shot, only Nico González (30) and João Gomes (26) have more.
