In a mouthwatering Boxing Day matchup on Monday (December 26), Crystal Palace and Fulham will play again in the Premier League. After losing their previous four meetings with the Eagles, which date back to July 2016, the visitors will enter the game looking to win for the first time.
Two weeks ago, Palace defeated Real Valladolid 2-1 to conclude their friendlies. Prior to that, they had a four-game losing streak in all competitions, which culminated in their November 9 penalty shootout defeat of Newcastle United in the EFL Cup.
After losing to Chelsea 2-1 in October, Palace will now return to the Premier League, where they have won their last three home games. In the meantime, Fulham’s only game during the 2022 FIFA World Cup break was a 1-1 draw against Premier League rivals West Ham United.
Fulham will now turn their attention to the Premier League, where they have one point from a possible nine and have lost three of their last three games. Fulham is ninth in the standings, level on points with Palace, who have a game in hand, with 19 points from 15 games.
