Fulham hosts Bournemouth on Saturday with kickoff at 10am EDT on USA Network.
If Fulham want to get into Europe, they probably have to win their three remaining matches. I just don't see that happening, so as with last week, all I really want it is a good showing. Bournemouth haven't lost since January 3 against Arsenal. It seems too much of an ask for Fulham to break that run despite Fulham's pretty good home form.
Fulham will have some interesting lineup choices to make starting with left back. Robinson has been terrible and Sessegnon will be unavailable. Does Silva do something radical like playing Bassey or Castagne as LB? Then there is Andersen who has frankly been both bullied and out paced in recent weeks, should Diop be giving a go? Hopefully Tete will be available to provide some additional options for the rest of the defense.
I won't be surprised if this ends up being Wilson's last start for Fulham too. If Fulham doesn't get 3 points and Europe is out of the question, then Silva might decide to let Bobb get the start in the last two games since Wilson will be moving on. If this is getting near the end of Wilson's time with Fulham I hope he can bag at least one more for us to cheer for.
Edit after the team update...
- Kevin might be available!
- Tete should be available
- Berge and Raul might not be recovered from the illness
- Confirmed that Sessegnon and Iwobi are still out
