The Fulham attack has been dynamic this season, and their midfield is very likely to play a crucial role in breaking down Southampton's defense.
Southampton's Struggles

Key Players to Watch
- Fulham: Aleksandar Mitrovic will be the linchpin in attack, and his goals might be vital for the Cottagers.
- Southampton: With the change in command, James Ward-Prowse is one of the players who has always stood out and can give balance at the back and spark creativity in midfield.
As the game approaches, all eyes will be on Craven Cottage, with both teams needing the points for different reasons. Will Fulham extend their dominance, or will Southampton fight back and break their winless run? Only time will tell.
