Fulham, meanwhile, are rooted in the bottom three after a slow start under former Real Madrid head coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who replaced Marco Silva in the summer. The Cottagers have picked up just two points so far, recording draws against Liverpool and Manchester United in their last two games. They were close to victory in those matches, but conceded after moving ahead in the game, leaving them without a win so far.
