Head to Head Record
Crystal Palace and Fulham have met 44 times, with Fulham having won more games with 17 victories. The Eagles have only won 12 of their meetings, with 15 draws between the two sides.
The last time these two met was on the opening weekend of the Premier League season in August, in Fulham's return to the top tier. However it was the visitors who triumphed at Craven Cottage, as Jeffrey Schlupp and Zaha gave Palace a 2-0 lead.
The two sides haven't had a goalless draw in the 21st century, with the Eagles are aiming to record their first double over Fulham for the first time since 1930, when they won 4-3 and 2-1.
Recent Form
Crystal Palace will look to put their draw with the Saints behind them and build on from their FA Cup success last week, as they knocked Spurs out in the fourth round.
Fulham picked up their first league win in four games, as they came from 2-0 down to beat Brighton 4-2 at Craven Cottage. It was a pleasant sight for Claudio Ranieri's side, following their elimination from the FA Cup and a poor run in the Premier League.
Here's how each team has performed in their last five fixtures:
| Crystal Palace | Fulham |
| Southampton 1-1 Crystal Palace (30/1) | Fulham 4-2 Brighton (29/01) |
|
Crystal Palace 2-0 Tottenham (27/01) |
Fulham 1-2 Tottenham (20/01) |
| Liverpool 4-3 Crystal Palace (19/01) |
Burnley 2-1 Fulham (12/01) |

|
Crystal Palace 1-0 Grimsby Town (05/01) |
Arsenal 4-1 Fulham (01/01) |
Prediction
It is certain to be a tight affair in south London, with both sides eager to pick up a crucial three points. With Fulham starting to find their feet once again and Crystal Palace hoping to build on from their strong performances, a draw looks most likely at Selhurst Park.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-2 Fulham
