Fulham will lock horns with Sheffield United at Craven Cottage with the home side looking to get into the top half of the table while the visitors continue their hunt for their first Premier League win this season.
The home side enter the contest on the back of a devasting loss against Chelsea as goals from Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja sealed the deal for the Blues. Despite being in the 13th position in the table, Fulham have the joint-worst goalscoring record with just five goals this season. The Cottagers have not scored in two consecutive games in England's top-flight and would not want to extend this shambolic streak to three games.
Sheffield United are seeded at the foot of the table with six losses and one draw taking their points tally to 1 point. They were hammered 2-0 by West Ham United in their previous PL fixture and another defeat on Saturday could see Paul Heckingbottom face an early axe if his team aren't able to revive themselves from the last position.
