As Fulham prepare to face Ipswich Town this Sunday at Craven Cottage, Marco Silva’s men are determined to chase their dreams of European football. In fine form, they remain unbeaten in their last seven Premier League outings, and a victory here would put them just two points outside the coveted top six.
However, Silva must be feeling the bitterness of the recent draw against Bournemouth, where his side conceded a late equalizer, marking their fifth share of points in just seven matches. Among those encounters was a commendable effort against heavyweights like Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool, a reflection of Fulham’s competitive spirit.

The club have not played on European soil since the 2011/12 season, but a new wave of optimism is blowing over Craven Cottage. Despite the summer departures of Joao Palhinha and Tosin Adarabioyo, Silva has orchestrated a new transformation, repositioning Fulham in the fight for a European place.
For their part, Ipswich Town mark their long-awaited return to the Premier League after a 22-year absence, although their journey has been difficult so far, occupying 18th place in the table. Kieran McKenna’s side will be full of confidence after a thrilling win over Chelsea at Portman Road and will look to add another victory against a London club this Sunday.
As for team news, Fulham have no new injuries to report. Marco Silva has confirmed that Sander Berge and Reiss Nelson are still unavailable, although Berge is progressing towards a return. Harrison Reed and Kenny Tete are also sidelined with knee issues.
Welsh midfielder Harry Wilson is in excellent form and will look to retain his starting place after standout performances which saw him score in his last two games. This season, Wilson has logged 516 minutes of play with five goals in the Premier League.
Fulham’s predicted line-up for Sunday: Leno; Diop, Andersen, Bassey; Castagne, Pereira, Lukic, Robinson; Wilson, Iwobi, Jiménez.
