Predicted Fulham Lineup To Face Queens Park Rangers In The EFL Championship
Fulham will look to extend their 15-game unbeaten run in the EFL Championship when they face off against QPR at the Craven Cottage on Saturday.
The Cottagers have been on a fine run of form that has seen them move to 4th place in the league table and with less than 10 games left in the season, a playoff finish looks like a very strong possibility. And manager Slavisa Jokanovic will be hoping that his team carries the momentum from the 2-1 weekend win over Preston North End to this game against the Hoops.
Team News
Tomas Kalas is close to a return to the side after having participated in training towards the end of last week. Apart from one player, Jokanovic has a clean bill of health and no suspended players to worry about for Saturday’s encounter.
Here’s how the Cottagers might take the field against QPR.
