Fulham vs Crystal Palace: Full lineups confirmed as Adam Wharton starts in Premier League 2026-27 match

Both sides remain winless this season.

Fulham will take on Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage in a Matchday 3 fixture of the English Premier League 2026-27 season on Saturday, September 5, 2026. The two sides are languishing in the bottom half of the table, having failed to open their accounts in their opening two matches.

Despite Joshua King and Gonzalo Garcia scoring goals, Fulham suffered a 3-2 loss to Chelsea in their league opener. The Cottagers then suffered a 1-0 loss to Sunderland, with Wilson Isidor scoring the 75th-minute winner. This losing run has put extreme pressure on head coach Álvaro Arbeloa.

Pierre Sage, who joined Crystal Palace this season, is yet to secure his first league win. The Eagles suffered a 2-0 loss to Everton in their opening game, followed by a 4-1 loss to Manchester City. The visitors will be seeking to clinch their first point of the season today.
