Fulham were victorious in their previous Premier League fixture as they beat Crystal Palace 3-0 on Boxing Day.

Read on for Anthony Dabbundo's betting analysis of the Fulham vs. Southampton Premier League match, including his pick.

The Cottagers are really bad at stopping crosses and that’s a major way that the Saints want to attack them. Fulham finished 20% above their xG in the Championship last year and have continued that finishing this season in the Premier League. One of the biggest weaknesses for Southampton all season long has been set pieces, but that isn’t really a strength for Fulham to exploit. The Cottagers have shed the yo-yo club label but they’ve utilized some positive variance to be as high as they are in the table. Mitrovic has carried the Fulham attack to the 10th most non-penalty xG per 90 this season. Nathan Jones will need to improve Southampton to keep them in the league next season, and that starts on Saturday morning in West London at Fulham.

Manor Solomon remains out after suffering a serious knee injury on his debut but is close to a return, while Neeskens Kebano is out after rupturing his Achilles. Marco Silva’s Fulham secured a big win at Crystal Palace on Boxing Day as they are on 22 points and the newly promoted side have ambitions of pushing for European qualification. There are so many players excelling for the Cottagers and Mitrovic is leading their hopes of a top 10 finish as only Ivan Toney, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland have scored more goals than him in the PL this season.

Fulham and Southampton are heading in totally different directions as the Cottagers are flying high and the Saints have hit rock bottom.

Below is the full schedule, as you can watch all 380 games across our NBC platforms. Aston Villa, meanwhile, returned from the World Cup break with a 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool for the first Premier League setback of the Unai Emery era (2W-0D-1L). Slow starts plagued Tottenham prior to the World Cup break, and the problem appears no closer to being solved after spotting Brentford two goals before the hour mark. Chelsea’s still learning its biggest stars under Graham Potter, and USMNT winger Christian Pulisic helped Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling deliver the goods against Bournemouth. Forest will present a different challenge, to be sure. Manor Solomon remains out after suffering a serious knee injury on his debut but is close to a return, while Neeskens Kebano is out after rupturing his Achilles. There are so many players excelling for the Cottagers and Mitrovic is leading their hopes of a top 10 finish as only Ivan Toney, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland have scored more goals than him in the PL this season. Fulham lead 1-0 and the Premier League have marked that down as a Ward-Prowse own goal. A beauty from the Saints skipper. Moments later Southampton with a great chance to take the lead. Fulham lead 2-1 in the 88th minute. Joao Palhinha heads home a corner at the back post after it was flicked on.
