Carlos Baleba picks the ball up deep in the Fulham half and he looks to find Kaoru Mitoma but there's too much on it. Chance for Brighton to make more of that than they did.

Alex Iwobi is through again! Bernd Leno hoofs one forward and it skips through to Iwobi but Igor Julio does well to block his effort. Should have hit it sooner.

It's certainly not one Bart Verbruggen will want to see again but that is the life of a goalkeeper sometimes when you play this risk-and-reward style. Something to learn from.

It is absolutely terrible from Bart Verbruggen. Fulham are so high up the pitch and put on such intense pressure. The Brighton keeper gets the ball to his feet and tries to play out and gifts the ball to Alex Iwobi who just taps it into the far corner nice and calmly.

Matt O'Riley's corner is poor and headed away at the front post. No bother for Brighton, though, as they begin to build from the back again.

Brighton are zipping it about nicely on this slick Craven Cottage pitch as Kaoru Mitoma finds Joao Pedro's run and he wins the first corner of the game.

Only one of the last 44 games between these two have ended goalless. Promising signs if you ask me.

Brighton, in their bright yellow kit, get us under way at Craven Cottage. Goals please.

Fulham were excellent against Tottenham on Sunday and their boss Marco Silva is probably still scratching his head about how they lost so heavily to Wolves the last time they were at Craven Cottage.

Regular readers will know I usually go with Fulham to win at home but I am not sure this time, because of how good Brighton have been so far.

There are reasons to back either side here, so I am going to split the difference and go with a draw.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Here's a reminder of the teams as kick-off is moments away.

Fair play to those who have ventured to Craven Cottage tonight because the weather is atrocious!

Good luck to anyone trying to predict this one. The only thing I am sure about is that there will be a lot of goals.

Wolves went toe to toe with Bournemouth on Saturday and the Cherries created chance after chance.

Tottenham will go toe to toe with the Cherries too, and there are going to be a lot of opportunities at both ends.

I don't want to go for another draw this week, and I think Bournemouth are more likely to edge it... but rather than trying to pick a winner I am going to say they will share the points.

Sutton's prediction: 2-2

Most teams are starting to pick up knocks left right and centre going into this busy period but you just have to deal with it. They have big squads, almost two players for every position now in the Premier League, so they can spread it round and cover certain areas.

Fraser Forster is yet to keep a clean sheet in a Premier League away game for Tottenham, conceding 23 goals in eight appearances on the road.

The last time he kept one in an away league game was in March 2021 for Southampton at Sheffield United.

I think it always takes a couple of transfer windows to get consistency. In time Fabian Hurzeler will be able to bring in the players that can work to his style and his philosophy in the way that he wants to play.

The results have papered over the issues to a certain extent. They don't keep many clean sheets; they shipped four in one half against Chelsea, they had to come from three goals down in the second half against Tottenham, they had to come from two goals down in the second half against Man City - they have always played in halves rather than complete 90 minute performances.

I do think that in two or three windows we will see a fair reflection of where they are at when Hurzeler has the right players to fit his way.
