Fulham vs AFC Wimbledon: Full lineups confirmed for Carabao Cup 2026-27 match
The Cottagers will be the heavy favourites for tonight’s match.
Fulham will take on AFC Wimbledon in a second-round Carabao Cup 2026-27 (EFL Cup) fixture at Craven Cottage on Thursday, August 27, 2026. New head coach Alvaro Arbeloa had a disappointing start to his Premier League tenure, suffering a defeat to Chelsea, and will look to secure his maiden competitive victory with the Cottagers.
The new-look Fulham side matched Chelsea’s intensity in the opening league match, with Josh King and Gonzalo Garcia scoring for the hosts. However, the Blues secured a 3-2 win through goals from Joao Pedro, Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer.
Facing third-tier AFC Wimbledon in their EFL Cup opener, Arbeloa’s men will be the heavy favourites to clinch a place in the third round. The Dons have had a poor start to their League One campaign, losing 3-0 to Huddersfield Town in their opening match before being held to a 0-0 draw by Rangers.
