THE PREDICTION
A hard-fought 1-1 draw away at Burnley in midweek means that the Cottagers currently sit six points away from safety after picking up five points from their last three Premier League games. This encounter represents a must win for Scott Parker’s side vs bottom of the table Sheffield Utd. After a brief revival, the Blades have lost their last two league matches and survival for them looks incredibly remote. The hosts are expected to start this contest on the front foot with an extremely high intensity, knowing the importance of the three points. Whilst there aren’t expected to be many goals, Fulham will likely take more risks offensively as the match goes on in a bid to grab the win and with new striker Josh Maja in form after his brace vs Everton last weekend, the hosts may have found that extra cutting edge in attack that will see them ultimately come out on top vs their relegation rivals.
