Crystal Palace vs Fulham prediction, preview, team news and more | Premier League 2020-21

Crystal Palace host Fulham in a London derby on Sunday, as Scott Parker's side look to make it out of the relegation zone.

Fulham are currently 18th in the Premier League, three points off Newcastle, with a superior goal-difference to Steve Bruce's men. Scott Parker will hope his side can extend their four-match unbeaten streak against a feisty Crystal Palace side.

Roy Hodgson's men snapped their two-game losing streak with a 2-1 against Brighton win in midweek. Crystal Palace are currently 13th in the Premier League, with a win on Sunday potentially taking them into the top half of the table.

Respect and admiration. 🙇‍♂️Scott knows Roy Hodgson will have his team organised. 👔#CRYFUL
