Fulham v Crystal Palace

Premier League, game week 3 — Saturday, 5 September 2026, kick-off 15:00 UK time

Step 2 of 4 — Home and away form.

What this step says

+0.55 points a game is the venue form gap, in Fulham's favour: Fulham takes 1.75 a game at home over the last two seasons, Crystal Palace 1.20 away.

Skip to the appraisal — and the market

Fulham: 40 league matches in the bank, 2 from this season and the rest from last season. Crystal Palace: 40 league matches in the bank, 2 from this season and the rest from last season.

Step two is HOME AND AWAY FORM -- the home side judged on its home record, the away side on its away record, because those are the records that will be on the pitch. The last five reach back into last season where this season is too young to answer, and say so.

The two sides

Fulham -- at home

Its record at the relevant venue: This season at home: won 0, drew 0, lost 1 of 1, scoring 2 and conceding 3. Last season at home: won 11, drew 2, lost 6 of 19, scoring 30 and conceding 20 -- 1.84 points a game.
Its last five league matches: Newest first: lost to Sunderland 0-1 away; lost to Chelsea 2-3 at home; beat Newcastle United 2-0 at home; drew with Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 away; lost to AFC Bournemouth 0-1 at home. The last 3 of these are from last season.
The dugout: The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 40 matches with one recorded (38, 2 apiece), most recently Álvaro Arbeloa Coca with 2. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.

Crystal Palace -- away

Its record at the relevant venue: This season away: won 0, drew 0, lost 1 of 1, scoring 0 and conceding 2. Last season away: won 7, drew 3, lost 9 of 19, scoring 22 and conceding 28 -- 1.26 points a game.
Its last five league matches: Newest first: lost to Manchester City 1-4 at home; lost to Everton 0-2 away; lost to Arsenal 1-2 at home; drew with Brentford 2-2 away; lost to Manchester City 0-3 away. The last 3 of these are from last season.
The dugout: The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 40 matches with one recorded (38, 2 apiece), most recently Pierre Sage with 2. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
