Stoke City welcomes Fulham to the Bet365 Stadium for this Championship match. The hosts are in 8th position with 38 points while the visitors are leading the table with 54 points. Stoke are just four points outside of the promotional playoff positions but have a game in hand. They will want to win this match and close the gap to just one point. Stoke have won their last two matches, one a FA Cup win and the other a league win. Their home form in the league has been most worrying and they are without a win in their last four matches with three losses and a draw. They have only won one of their last seven home matches. Stoke have lost their last two matches against Fulham and the last time they lost three in a row was in 1967.

Fulham have won their last three league matches which has enabled them to open up a five point gap over their nearest rivals Bournemouth and Blackburn Rovers. They have only lost once in their last 16 matches and look determined to return to the Premiership in their first time of asking. Fulham are also unbeaten in their last seven away matches across all competitions. They are also looking to complete the league double over Stoke for the first time since the 2010/11 season. Aleksandar Mitrovic will be the player Fulham will look to as he has been directly involved in 10 goals in the past last seven matches with seven goals and three assists.
