Injuries and Suspensions
Fulham host Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage in a Premier League Matchday 3 fixture that carries early-season weight for both sides.
Alvaro Arbeloa's Cottagers have made a difficult start to the campaign, picking up just three points from their opening two league matches. Back-to-back defeats to Chelsea and Sunderland have left Fulham sitting 16th in the table, and the pressure to deliver a home performance is already building on the banks of the Thames.
Arbeloa has been active in reshaping the squad, completing a third raid on Real Madrid's academy this summer with the signing of midfielder Manuel Angel. The influx of young Spanish talent reflects the manager's vision, but results on the pitch remain the only currency that matters right now.
Crystal Palace arrive in west London in an equally uncomfortable position. Pierre Sage's side sit 18th after two Premier League defeats, conceding six goals across losses to Everton and Manchester City. The Eagles have not won a league game yet this season.
Sage did strengthen his squad on deadline day, with Ben Chilwell and Quinten Timber both confirmed as permanent signings after deal sheets were submitted past the official cutoff. Those additions could prove timely as Palace attempt to find some defensive stability.
The transfer window closed with further turbulence at Selhurst Park. Liverpool's pursuit of Ismaila Sarr ended without a deal after Palace held firm on their valuation and rejected a reported £50 million bid. Sage has since acknowledged that Sarr needs time to process the collapse of that move, adding a psychological subplot to Palace's preparations.
With both teams desperate for points and significant squad changes still bedding in, Craven Cottage should provide a tense afternoon of Premier League football. Here is everything you need to know about how to watch.
