Fulham vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction
West Bromwich Albion have, so far, given a better account of themselves on their return to the Premier League than Fulham have. The Fulham defence has just not looked capable of being robust enough at the level required in the Premier League.
It is for that reason that we are predicting a narrow West Bromwich Albion win at Craven Cottage on Monday night. If they win, it will be the Baggies's first win in the Premier League win in more than 30 months.
Prediction: Fulham 1-2 West Bromwich Albion
