Cottagers looking to build on late Brentford win in another London derby
Crystal Palace are looking to build on what was a promising if somewhat frustrating week when they host Fulham in the Premier League this weekend.
The Eagles had endured a largely miserable start to the season before claiming their first win of the campaign by beating Tottenham 1-0 last month before overcoming Aston Villa 2-1 to book their spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
Still, Oliver Glasner’s side were denied a late winner by VAR in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Wolves, with the Palace boss bemoaning the fact Craig Dawson was not sent off.
Fulham, meanwhile, left it late against rivals Brentford on Monday but won 2-1 thanks to Harry Wilson's brilliant brace to move up to ninth.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off time on Saturday 9 November 2024.
Selhurst Park in London will host.
TV channel and live stream: The game will not be broadcast in the UK as it takes place during the 3pm blackout imposed across English football.
