After three straight draws, Fulham will make another attempt towards getting their third win in the Premier League in Round 15 when they host Southampton on Saturday. Heading to this game, Fulham have managed 10 points and are placed 18th while Southampton, who have 24 points, are placed seventh in the standings. Fulham have so far beaten Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion and one more win could see them leap out of the relegation region. After going winless in their last four matches since beating Leicester away, the London side has a chance at shocking another high flyer. To do that though, they will have to put in a greater improvement, especially in defence. Fulham have two clean sheets in their last 13 matches and have lost nine of their last 15 games. They have conceded two or more goals in six of their last 15 matches and have failed to score in six of the last 15. Fulham head to this game after the 1-1 draw with Newcastle United but will be without Joachim Andersen, with the Danish defender having been sent off in the Newcastle game. In the 17 matches they have played this season, Fulham have managed just four wins and in eight home matches, they have three clean sheets, lost four and won just two. They have failed to score in three of the last eight home matches and in 14 league matches, the team has conceded 23 goals. Ahead of this game they have managed just one win in nine matches against Southampton.

Southampton, on the other hand, have slumped in their recent matches and go here straight from a loss, which makes it two winless outings for the Saints. They fell 1-0 to Manchester City in their last game and will be gunning for a return to winning ways, having managed two in the last five. The Saints have one clean sheet in their last six matches and have scored two or more goals in the seven of their last 10 matches while conceding two or more in three of their last 10 matches. Southampton were slow starters to the season but have picked up well. In the 15 matches they have played this season, they have managed seven wins and failed to score in just three, while 10 of the 15 matches have produced under 2.5 goals. The team heads to this match unbeaten in the last six away matches, winning three and drawing three. With five wins and five clean sheets in their last six matches against Fulham, Southampton will be well pumped for this match. Danny Ings, in particular will be looking forward to this game, having scored four times in the last five away matches he has played.
