Fulham vs Brighton – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Fulham can climb into the Premier League’s top six with a win over Brighton on Thursday evening.

The tight nature of the Premier League table means Marco Silva’s side can rise six places with three points. Both teams have ambitions of gatecrashing the European places, with Brighton currently fifth and capable of moving into the Champions League spots with victory at Craven Cottage.

Fulham bounced back from a shock setback at home to Wolves to earn a hard-fought point at Tottenham Hotspur last time out. The West Londoners have lost just one of their last five Premier League games heading into tonight’s fixture.
