Palace had just one shot on target before the break and must do more to support Edouard. The striker has had just 11 touches and has been kept quiet by Ream and Diop. Eze has shown fleeting moments of quality but has also not seen enough of the ball. As for Fulham, they started the game quickly before slowing down. Willian has shown his ability on the left, with the Cottagers looking much more effective in the attack due to the return of left-back Robinson. However, Palhinha must be careful in the midfield as he has already been shown a yellow card.
