MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Fulham have lost just one of their past eight home league matches against Leeds, winning four and drawing three.
Fulham have kept clean sheets in all three Premier League home games with Leeds.
Leeds have not scored a top-flight goal at Craven Cottage since a 5-0 victory in January 1968.

Fulham have been beaten in two of their past three fixtures, as many as in their previous eight games.
They have lost nine league matches at Craven Cottage; only bottom club Sheffield have been beaten more often at home. All nine of those losses came against clubs currently in the top 11.
Fulham's only two home league victories this season came against the sides currently below them in the table.
They have kept clean sheets in six of their past 11 league fixtures.
Scott Parker's side have scored eight home league goals, fewer than any other side.

See out a game. Bit of tenacity and steel in the dying moments. Waste a bit of time.
Plus think most at and around the club would like to see him get some PL minutes.

I’m so pleased the London curse has come to an end! We needed a win and I think we can be almost certain of staying in the Prem now.
I hate VAR. Ayling was so thrilled with his goal only to have it ruled offside by another weird and wonderful decision by a machine that draws lines in directions various to deny us yet another goal. When Bamford did actually score I didn’t celebrate, so convinced that it would be ruled out for some reason or another!
Imagine if there had been crowds in the stadium, going mental because we had scored then having it chalked off! There would be uproar! I really hope the FA or FIFA (whoever is responsible) sort this out before next season as it really is ruining the game.

About time Gelhardt got some minutes, need to look to the future not a sentimental nod to the past.

Personally don't think Gelhardt is ready, and no use chucking him on in the dying minutes if he isn't.

So we are 2-1 and you wouldn't bring on the best player from our under 23's but you would bring on a player who in his two halves at U23 level has looked 2nd best to his 18 year old central defending partner. If we are cruising to a victory or are four or five goals adrift that's when you bring Berardi on for those sentimentalists, not in a game like this.

Yes I would. I'd rather bring a seasoned campaigner on in a game like that than a child with limited big game experience previously
