Premier League side Fulham play host to Championship basement dwellers Rotherham when the two sides square off for round three of the FA Cup. Fulham will be hoping for another deep FA Cup run after making it to the quarter-finals last season, where they would eventually be eliminated by Manchester United. Victory for Rotherham would see them better last season’s result after being eliminated at this stage of the competition by Ipswich.

It’s been a solid, if not spectacular, campaign for the Cottagers so far who are sitting 13th in the Premier League standings. Marco Silva has guided his team to a record of 7-3-10, putting them on 24 points and giving them a nine-point lead over the relegation zone. Fulham finished 10th last season and would need to make up a four-point gap on Chelsea if they are to replicate that finish. The hosts come into this cup tie after a stunning 2-1 home victory over Arsenal in matchday 20 of the league. It’s the kind of result that can revitalize a season and fans will have high expectations coming into this one. The win was the latest in a string of excellent home results for Fulham as they’ve now won four of their last five at Craven Cottage.

It’s not looking good for Rotherham this season as they are the current oddsmakers’ favorites to be relegated to League One. The Millers have accumulated just three league wins on the season, drawing an additional 10 and losing 15 after 90 minutes across all competitions. However, a 2-2 away draw with Blackburn in the team’s most recent game has Rotherham on their longest unbeaten run of the season at three matches.
