The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Fulham lock horns with a struggling Leeds United side in an important clash at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
Fulham vs Leeds United Preview
Leeds United are currently in 16th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 6-1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Fulham, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Cottagers eased past Everton by a 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
