Fulham prepare to entertain Middlesbrough at Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cottagers are clearly on top, winning 52.17% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in August 2003, as the Cottagers squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Premiership match.
