Our predictions for Fulham vs Leeds United
Match Prediction: Fulham 2-1 Leeds United
Fulham's recent form shows they can hold their own against tough opponents, drawing with Manchester United and Brighton. They'll look to exploit Leeds' shaky defence, especially after that 5-0 thrashing by Arsenal. Fulham's solid backline, led by Andersen, should keep things tight at the back, while their attacking players like Iwobi and King could nick a goal or two.
Leeds, on the other hand, have been a bit all over the place. A solid draw against Newcastle shows they can dig in, but that Arsenal game was a disaster. They'll need to be more organised and hope James and Gnonto can cause problems on the break. It's going to be a close one, but Fulham might just have the edge at home.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Fulham
Fulham have been pretty steady lately, drawing with big teams like Manchester United and Brighton. They've shown they can compete with the best, even if they slipped up against Chelsea. This should give them confidence going into the Leeds game, knowing they can hold their own and maybe even nick a win.
Their defence has been solid, and with few injuries, they'll be at full strength. This could be key against a Leeds side that's been a bit unpredictable. If they keep it tight at the back and let their attackers do their thing, they've got a good shot at three points.

Leeds United
Leeds have had a mixed bag recently, with a good draw against Newcastle but a heavy loss to Arsenal. They'll need to find some consistency if they want to get anything from this game. The win against Everton shows they can grind out results, but they'll need to be more solid defensively.
With few injuries to worry about, they've almost got a full squad to choose from. It's all about getting the balance right between attack and defence. If they can keep it tight and let James and Gnonto do their thing, they might just pull off a surprise.
