Fulham v Bristol City preview

Image: Tom Cairney: Available again for Fulham

Fulham look set to have an unchanged squad for the visit of Bristol City.

Only long-term absentees Sheyi Ojo and Lucas Piazon are unavailable to manager Slavisa Jokanovic. On-loan Liverpool winger Ojo is still out following a dislocated shoulder and Chelsea loanee Piazon is recovering from a broken leg, with the duo due back in December. Fit-again captain Tom Cairney marked his first start since August with Fulham's equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Bolton on Saturday.

Bristol City's Milan Djuric is pushing hard for a starting spot after scoring in his last two appearances from the bench. Djuric, fit again after groin surgery, is breathing down the neck of forwards Jamie Paterson and Matty Taylor after striking against Crystal Palace and Sunderland.

Nathan Baker is a doubt after being forced off in the first half at Sunderland and his replacement, Eros Pisano, is standing by again. Famara Diedhiou and Jens Hegeler are long-term injury victims.

Bristol City are unbeaten in their last six Championship away matches winning each other the last two (W3 D3). The last time they won three consecutive away league matches came back in February 2016 (also a run of 3).

No Championship player has scored more goals direct from a free kick than Fulham's Stefan Johansen (2 - also Preston's Josh Harrop).

Prutton's prediction

What a run of form Bristol City are on at the moment! They may have suffered that defeat against Leeds but bounced back superbly with another couple of big wins on the spin.

Fulham are a strange one this season. Every time you think they're about to build up a head of steam they suffer another poor result that takes them back to square one. But Craven Cottage is still a tough place to go and I can't split these two right now.

Prutton predicts: 1-1 (6/1 with Sky Bet)
