Match preview
Fulham host AFC Wimbledon in an EFL Cup knockout clash looking to rebound after a high-scoring 3-2 defeat against Chelsea. The hosts have demonstrated reliable attacking output across recent matches, scoring in each of their last five outings, though defensive concessions have prevented consistent results.
AFC Wimbledon enter this tie having drawn three of their last four fixtures, including a 0-0 stalemate against Reading and a 1-1 result at Leyton Orient. While they advanced in this competition previously with a 2-1 home victory, their away form shows vulnerability, highlighted by a 3-0 defeat at Huddersfield.
With Fulham holding home advantage despite missing J. Andersen through suspension and T. Cairney through injury, they remain well-placed to navigate this cup encounter against lower-league opposition.
Key factors
- Fulham have scored in five consecutive matches across all competitions.
