Fulham will invite Leeds United to Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Saturday. The hosts have endured a winless start to their league campaign, while Leeds have a win, a draw, and a loss from three games.
The Cottagers had drawn their first two league games and extended their unbeaten streak in the Carabao Cup second round with a 2-0 home win over Bristol City last month. They failed to continue that form in their previous league outing against West London rivals Chelsea and fell to a 2-0 away loss.
The visitors got their campaign underway with a narrow 1-0 home win over Everton, but are winless in the three games since. In their previous league outing, they were held to a goalless draw by Newcastle United, keeping their second clean sheet in three games.

Fulham vs Leeds United Prediction
The Cottagers suffered their first loss of the season in their previous outing while also failing to score for the first time, and will look to bounce back here. They have won their last three games in this fixture, scoring seven goals, and will look to build on that record.
Issa Diop is the only injury concern for Marco Silva, though the defender is likely to start from the bench.
The Whites have scored just once in their last three games while conceding six times and will look to improve upon that record. They have failed to score in two of their last three away meetings against the hosts.
Ethan Ampadu, Lucas Perri, and Ao Tanaka are confirmed absentees for the visitors. Lukas Nmecha and Joel Piroe are major doubts. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is in contention to start.
Considering the visitors' poor away record in the Premier League, and a few injury concerns, we back the Cottagers to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Fulham 1-0 Leeds United
