Fulham vs Sheffield Wednesday Preview
Fulham have a fully fit squad which will allow Slavisa Jokanovic to field his preferred XI. Floyd Ayite, Michael Madl, Tomas Kalas and Ragnar Sigurdsson have come back from international duty unscathed. Scott Parker, Ryan Sessegnon and Denis Odoi will all hope for recalls.
Sheff Wed welcome back Portuguese forward Lucas Joao who has recovered from a groin strain. Goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith has started to train following a finger injury but this match could come too soon for Marco Matias who has recently recovered from a hip injury.

Fulham vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Things have certainly picked up for Fulham over the last few weeks and they go into this game looking for a third consecutive victory. The 1-0 loss away to Aston Villa three games back is their only defeat in 5 outings. That was followed by a landslide 5-0 win over Huddersfield and the Cottagers never looked in doubt away to Brentford.
Sheffield Wednesday have dropped to tenth but remain level on points with Fulham. The Owls have been grinding out 1-0 wins, as was the case in their most recent victory over Queens Park Rangers. However, the lack of a ‘Plan B’ was all to evident in the subsequent 2-0 loss at Derby County and they were done by a late goal in the latest defeat to Ipswich.
Fulham’s home form isn’t great but Sheffield Wednesday have only won twice on the road in their last 10 away games. The Cottagers look to have caught Wednesday at a good time and can continue to build momentum by snatching the win. This will be a competitive game, no doubt, but the hosts are taken to win 2-1.
