Fulham go in search of their sixth win on the bounce on Saturday when they play host to Blackpool at Craven Cottage in round 29 of the EFL Championship.
The visitors, meanwhile, have won each of their last two league outings and will be seeking to make it three from three games for the second time this season.
Fulham continued their charge for the EFL Championship title last Saturday as they claimed a thrilling 3-2 win at Stoke City.
Marco Silva’s men have now won each of their last five games in all competitions, scoring 23 goals and shipping six in that time.
With 57 points from 27 games, Fulham currently sit at the summit of the league table with a five-point cushion over second-placed Blackburn Rovers.
Meanwhile, Blackpool made it two wins from two league outings last time out as they edged out Millwall 1-0 on home turf.
However, sandwiched between those two wins, Neil Critchley’s men were dumped out of the FA Cup, courtesy of a disappointing 2-1 loss against bottom-tier Hartlepool United.
With 36 points from 27 games, Blackpool are currently 14th in the EFL Championship table, level on points with Sheffield United and Preston North End.
