Team News

Slavisa Jokanovic looks set to have a full side to pick from for this home match.

Key Man

For the third time this season, Fulham turned to Oliver Norwood to come up with a late, late penalty conversion to win at Middlesbrough to keep their run of form going. It was the fifth goal of the season for him, and came deep into stoppage time to boost them with coolness personified. It is clear he is the man for the job when the going gets tough, so keep an eye on him here.

0-1 win at Middlesbrough
0-1 home loss vs Southampton (FA Cup)

Nigel Clough is missing influential striker Liam Boyce due to a bad knee injury. Wide midfielder William Miller also looks set for a spell on the sidelines.

Key Man

Burton have had serious issues scoring goals and picking up results, but they continue to plod along with the help of veteran Lloyd Dyer.

The Cottagers have reigned supreme over the last month or so and look to be climbing into the playoff places. If this keeps up, they could just squeak in with a little bit of help also. But to do that, they will have to come up with a victory after they lost to the same side earlier in the season. They should be doing that in this one.

Fulham are unbeaten in their last five Championship matches.
