Comments and predictions for Fulham vs Brighton: Draw

Latest Fulham vs Brighton team information

Fulham will be without key players Tom Cairney and Sasa Lukic against Brighton, with Lukic suspended for picking up five yellow cards. Harrison Reed (knee) and Joachim Andersen (calf) remain sidelined, while Jorge Cuenca (minor injury) remains a doubt.

Andreas Pereira, who did not feature in the recent draw with Tottenham, could return after a failed transfer to Marseille. Manager Marco Silva insists leaving Pereira out was a "tactical decision" and believes the midfielder will return strong.

Up front, Raul Jimenez could lose his place to Rodrigo Muniz after five consecutive games without a goal. Harry Wilson is still competing for a starting spot with Alex Iwobi and Reiss Nelson on the wings.

For Brighton, James Milner (hamstring) and Solly March (knee) remain absent. Adam Webster (hamstring), Ferdi Kadioglu (toe), and Jack Hinshelwood (knee) will be further assessed.

Joel Veltman, who missed the Southampton game with a minor problem, and Brajan Gruda (illness) will need to be assessed ahead of the game. Mitoma and Yasin Ayari, both of whom have picked up minor injuries recently, are also doubtful. Captain Lewis Dunk could return to the starting line-up after recovering from a calf injury, while midfielder Carlos Baleba has completed his suspension and is available.

Latest Fulham vs Brighton football commentary

Fulham were held to a disappointing draw against Tottenham, with a player sent off in the final seven minutes. Despite falling behind early to Brennan Johnson’s opener, they pulled off a spectacular equaliser, but were down a man. However, Fulham’s defence held firm and earned a point. Manager Marco Silva expressed his disappointment and insisted Fulham deserved to win. The result leaves Fulham 10th in the table, level on points with three teams around them and just four points behind Brighton – their next opponents.

Fulham have an impressive head-to-head record against Brighton, unbeaten in their last eight Premier League games with four wins and four draws, including two consecutive home wins by an aggregate score of 5-1. However, they have struggled in midweek games, winning just one of their last six games played on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

Brighton missed the chance to win their third straight league game when they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Southampton. Kaoru Mitoma's strike was equalised by Flynn Downes, while Cameron Archer's strike was ruled out by VAR. Manager Fabian Hurzeler admitted Brighton only deserved a point after a lacklustre attack. Brighton, however, remain in the Premier League's top four, level on points with fifth-placed Man City and just two points behind Arsenal.

Before closing out 2024 with three games against Leicester, West Ham and Aston Villa, Brighton travel to Craven Cottage – where they have failed to win in their last four visits. Brighton have also failed to win in their last nine away games in London, their worst run in the capital since 1967.
