Latest updates

  1. Sutton's predictions: Everton v Fulhampublished at 11:04 26 October

    Chris Sutton and Nemzzz

    Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.

    For week nine he takes on rapper Nemzzz, who supports Manchester United.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1

    I don't like to mention that I said Everton would be fine, but I did.

    After losing their first four games of the season, Sean Dyche's side are now unbeaten in their past four and climbing the table.

    They are playing like a Dyche team too - hardworking and streetwise, but with a bit of quality too. Dwight McNeil is having an exceptional season.

    This is a test for them because Fulham are one of those teams who can beat anyone on their day. They have lost their past two games, against Manchester City and Aston Villa, but they had good spells in both matches.

    I wouldn't be surprised if either side won it, which is why I am going in the middle with my prediction.

    Nemzzz's prediction: 2-2

  3. Silva on Diop, penalties and returning to Goodisonpublished at 16:03 24 October

    Fulham boss Marco Silva has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at Everton (17:30 BST).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • Silva gave a fitness update on his squad: "Jorge Cuenca and Carlos Vinicius are going in the right direction. In the last two or three days, they have been working with the team. Tomorrow, we have another session and we will assess them."

    • Joachim Andersen is suspended after his red card against Aston Villa and Sasa Lukic will not return until November.

    • Silva said it is another chance for Issa Diop to step into central defence: "The way he reacted to the own goal [against Villa] was really good. He is going to be important for us. He works hard. He's a team player. He is ready to help everyone. Let's hope he can perform the way we know he can."

    • Reacting to Andreas Pereira's penalty miss against Villa, Silva said: "We have three or four players who can take penalties. I am going to decide. The players show me in training who is most capable to take them. It's always a tough moment if you miss a big chance, especially a penalty."

    • On Calvin Bassey: "Calvin had an impact last season. He has the skills, ability and talent to be a top central defender. I really trust him. I really believe he has the capacity to be a very good central defender. He has everything."

    • On the challenge posed by the Toffees: "For a long, long time, Fulham wasn't able to win there and as a team we were able to change it. It's a good sign. We know the type of game we are going to play, but it's always really tough."

    • It will be his last visit to Goodison Park: "It was an honour for me to be Everton manager. It's going to be my last game at Goodison. It's a special place. But it's a football match, nothing more. I'm managing Fulham and I want to win the game."

  4. Pereira 'has to up his game or lose his place'published at 12:14 24 October

    We asked you to tell us one thing nobody is taking about at Fulham but should be.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Simon: Why does Andreas Pereira still start every week? On paper his stats look good but most fans, who watch him every week, will see that his real contribution is much less effective than what we need in that role. He has to up his game or lose his place.

    Tim: People seem to overlook what depth we have. The second string would have been our first XI not long ago. Getting everyone settled down so quickly is the real success story.

    Luke: Lukic has perfectly replaced Palhinha. All through the summer, pundits and Fulham fans alike were talking about how much Fulham would struggle without Palhinha. But so far this season, I haven’t heard anyone bring it up. A combination of a much higher press and Lukic’s amazing ability has quietened the media.

    Andy: Marco Silva's unjustified favouritism of Andreas Pereira. Andreas hasn't had a good game so far this season but never gets dropped. We've even changed formation this season to accommodate him, while form players like Wilson and Nelson are on the bench and we have to put up with consistently ineffective dead balls - highlighted by the penalty debacle.

  5. What is nobody talking about at Fulham? published at 16:50 23 October

    Emile Smith Rowe's promising start to his career at Craven Cottage and the resurgence of striker Raul Jimenez have been a couple of the main discussion points when assessing Fulham in the opening weeks of the Premier League season.

    But you know your club best - so what is the one thing nobody is talking about, good or bad?

  6. Pereira penalty another 'sliding doors' moment?published at 12:31 22 October

    Football is littered with ‘sliding doors’ moments - seemingly small instances that go on to have a profound impact.

    Fulham and Aston Villa have had two recently.

    First, there was the play-off final in 2018. We won promotion at Villa’s expense - too early, it turned out, as we were dumped back to the second tier after one season. Villa went up as a far stronger outfit a year later. Then, two years ago almost to the day, we hammered them 3-0 to send Steven Gerrard packing and usher in the Unai Emery era. The rest is history.

    Our missed penalty on Saturday was another sliding doors moment, albeit a small one. Andreas Pereira took a woeful spot kick, duly saved by Emiliano Martinez. With the chance to retake the lead blown, Fulham disintegrated, losing 3-1, having a man sent off and scoring an own goal to punctuate the capitulation.

    Three weeks ago, Pereira argued with Raul Jimenez over who would take the penalty against Nottingham Forest. Jimenez took it and scored, but Marco Silva later revealed that Pereira was the designated taker.

    That decision looks baffling now. Raul has scored 36 of his 38 career penalties - and is very much in form.

    Jimenez’s opener was his fourth goal in eight games this season - and during our second-half collapse he was the only player to come out with any credit. Not bad for £5m. In a post-Aleksandar Mitrovic world, this side does not need a designated taker across the whole campaign; it could be decided game by game.

    Had Pereira handed Jimenez the ball and the Mexican dispatched from 12 yards, who knows what might have happened?

    It is all speculation, of course - but as the whistle blows on Silva’s 150th game in charge, we can be thankful that we do not need to daydream wistfully about what might be - we certainly would not want anyone else at the helm.

    We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Fulham and Aston Villa.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Fulham fans

    Christopher: Fulham blew it. At 1-1, they should have let Raul Jimenez take the penalty and if they had it's likely they would have gone on to get at least a point from the game. The third goal was a gift . Strange game because Aston Villa were not two goals better.

    Ben: Great start but we quickly got over-run in midfield. Marco Silva needs to have a huge rethink on penalty takers, and has to play Andreas Pereira further forward. It wasn't a good performance overall and the red card, although I didn't think it was at the time, was fully justified when I watched the replay and summed the performance up.

    David: An implosion and a half. Hugely disappointing after such a good start! We seem to be our own worst enemies. We should be winning games yet seem to fall off the ball or worse in this instance!

    Aston Villa fans

    James: This was a great win against a good, well-drilled Fulham side. I saw this as a real banana skin. Instead we are In fourth place which keeps our momentum going in the league as we continue to keep an eye on Europe.

    Geoff: Villa didn't play particularly well, however to still win shows a team who could be challenging for the title. Fulham are a good team at home, and in the end we beat them. Unai Emery is showing what a great manager he is tactically - probably the best in the league.

    Wardy: Solid performance. We always seem to need to go behind before they fully switch on. But the character, and depth in the squad is professional throughout. Emery is golden.

  8. Fulham 1-3 Aston Villa: Talking pointpublished at 19:01 19 October

    Fulham's Andreas Pereira fails to score from the penalty spot

    "The reality is in decisive moments they punished us," Marco Silva lamented after Fulham's defeat to Aston Villa.

    Arguably the most significant of those key moments was when Andreas Pereira stepped up to the penalty spot after Matty Cash was deemed to have handled a header back across goal from Raul Jimenez.

    Whether it was the lengthy check by referee Darren England after the incident was flagged by the Video Assistant Referee, or the imposing presence of Emiliano Martinez in the Villa goal, Pereira looked nervous.

    With such inexperience from spot-kicks it should not be a big surprise.

    From 237 league appearances in England, Spain, Italy and Brazil before this game against Aston Villa, Pereira had scored one penalty.

    Quite why Silva has determined the 28-year-old Brazilian is the man to take Fulham's spot-kicks is a bit of a mystery.

    It's one thing scoring from the spot in training, quite another when the stakes are considerably higher.

    There was a bit of an imbroglio after Jimenez took the ball off Pereira to score decisively from the spot in Fulham's 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest a few weeks back.

    Most Fulham fans, and perhaps Silva, wish the Mexican possibly wish he had done the same again.

  9. 'In decisive moments they punished us'published at 18:07 19 October

    Marco Silva spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Fulham's defeat against Aston Villa: "We knew from the beginning that they would stop us from the build-up.

    "We knew we had to have different ways and need to mix our game up. One of them was to go in-behind and that's what we saw. The goal is a good example of that, but unfortunately they equalised too close to our goal.

    "Not the best performance from us. We can talk about the own goal, the set piece goal and missing a penalty, but in terms of performance it wasn't our best."

    On the missed penalty: "I felt the team were a bit more nervous and we were not playing at out levels. We tried to adjust things at half-time, but the reality is we concede a goal.

    "The red card and the own goal. The moments that have an impact in the game were all against us and all for Villa.

    "The reality is in decisive moments they punished us."

    On Raul Jimenez: "I have to praise him for the hard work that he put in on the pitch. I was thinking of protecting him in the last minutes of the game.

    "He played last Wednesday and almost had 90 minutes [for Mexico]. He arrived and we had to protect him a little bit so he performed at his level."

  11. Sutton's predictions: Fulham v Aston Villapublished at 12:02 19 October

    Sutton's predictions graphic

    Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.

    For week eight, he takes on legendary boxing manager Kellie Maloney.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1

    I always fancy Fulham at home, but they have actually been decent everywhere they’ve played this season - they gave Manchester City a really good game at Etihad Stadium last time out.

    A lot will depend on which Aston Villa players are back from injury. The likes of Ezri Konsa and Amadou Onana are doubts, and Villa have got next week's Champions League tie against Bologna to think about too.

    The obvious prediction to go for is a draw – that’s what Kellie will go for, I’m sure, and I am going to sit on the fence too.

    Kellie's prediction: This is going to be a close one. 1-1

  12. Which Premier League players have been surprise packages?published at 11:06 19 October

    The Premier League returns this weekend, with each club having played seven matches.

    BBC Sport has looked at eight players that have performed better than fans may have expected this season.

    It has been an impressive start to the campaign for 33-year-old Mexico striker Raul Jimenez, who has three goals and an assist to his name for Fulham.

    This season has been a welcome return to form after he went 33 games without a league goal between March 2022 and November 2023, firstly with Wolves and then in his first three months at Craven Cottage.

    In 2019-20 he scored 17 league goals for Wolves, but then in November 2020 suffered a fractured skull that threatened not only his career, but his life.

    He went eight months before he could play football again and his return to goalscoring has been one of the stories of the season so far.

    Did you know? Jimenez has either scored (three) or assisted (one) a goal in his past four Premier League games, the first time he has registered a goal involvement in four consecutive appearances in the division since December 2019.
