We close off Saturday’s action in the Premie League with a massive six-pointer at the Craven Cottage as Fulham play hosts to Sheffield United. With both sides in desperate need of maximum points in the fight for survival, we expect to see a highly-competitive encounter. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Both sides played out a very tight and cagey encounter in the reverse match early this season. The game eventually ended 1-1 with both of them going home with a point each. However, with regards to their H2H record, it is to be noted that Fulham hasn’t lost in four games. Will they use that as a motivating factor to achieve all three points this Saturday?

Highly-spirited encounter on the cards

Both sides are currently in the relation zone with the home side in 18th place while the Blades are t the bottom of the table. This means that the London-based side are closer to safety but six points are quite some ground to make up. The Blades on the flipside, are 14 from safety and will need a miracle to somehow survive.
Scott Parker’s troops couldn’t follow up their victory at the Goodison park with yet another win as they were held by Burnley during the midweek fixtures. The Blades, on the other hand, lost their second consecutive league game in a row as they were beaten by West Ham 3-0 on Monday.
