Fulham Away: Match Preview


New LUFC Manager Evans

New boss Steve Evans' first game in charge is a trip to West London to face a mid-table Fulham side. Leeds will be hoping Cellino's new watermelon will bring them a similar result to last season, where United thumped their opponents 3-0 at Craven Cottage.

A repeat of last season's scoreline will see United leapfrog Huddersfield and move into 13th place should Blackburn fail to beat Derby County. A victory of any scoreline will move the Mighty Whites above Fulham and onto 14 points.

Fulham come into the game off the back of two straight draws whereas United have suffered 3 defeats on the bounce which led to the sacking of boss Uwe Rosler. A key battle will be whether Chris Wood can outperform Fulham's Ross McCormack. The ex-Leeds man has 5 goals this season to Wood's 4.
