Fulham vs Brighton

Fulham welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Craven Cottage in desperate need for three points.

The Cottagers need to start getting some points on the board as we enter the critical stages of the season.

Whereas Brighton, who look more or less safe, without any lapses of concentration - but they definitely need to improve their away form.

The reverse fixture at the Amex Stadium saw Fulham race to an early two-goal lead, but Glenn Murray scored a brace to rescue a point for the Seagulls.
