Recent respective form guides

Fulham have lost just once in their last six home games, winning four and drawing the other one. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 7 to 5.

In complete contrast to Fulham, Sheff. Utd. are having a torrid time on their travels, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the The Blades have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.
