Who will win Crystal Palace vs. Fulham?

After their stunning start to the season, Crystal Palace have hit a rough patch of form in recent weeks, with the Eagles heading into this encounter having failed to win any of their last five games, including three straight Premier League defeats. 

Oliver Glasner will be desperate for his side to put their struggles behind them and start 2026 on a positive note by claiming all three points, and they will take confidence from winning all of their last three meetings with Fulham. 

However, the Cottagers have triumphed in all of their last three Premier League outings, and Marco Silva will be eager for his side to maintain that momentum going into the new year. 

Given Fulham's significantly stronger form than the Eagles, combined with Crystal Palace's challenges at home this term - taking just 10 points from nine home fixtures - the Cottagers are certainly the favourites to claim the victory.
