Fulham vs Leeds
Leeds United kick off the latest Premier League game week on Friday evening when they face a trip to Fulham.
The Peacocks head into the tie in fairly patchy form having picked up just one win in five, though they did manage to hold Chelsea to a 0-0 draw in their previous clash.

Said result means that Leeds are now currently 12th in the Premier League table on 36 points, all but guaranteeing their Premier League status for another season.
However, Leeds are also a full 10 points off the European places, meaning they have little left to play for this campaign.
Fulham, on the other hand, are still firmly entrenched in a relegation scrap.
The Cottagers head into Friday’s game 18th, just two points behind Newcastle, who also have a game in hand.
Marcelo Bielsa provides updates on Bamford, Cooper, Davis & Rodrigo
Ahead of the meeting at Craven Cottage, Marcelo Bielsa held his latest press conference on Wednesday.
During the presser, the Argentine provided an update on a trio of his players.
One of those was FPL favourite, Patrick Bamford, who was forced off with a knock during the aforementioned Chelsea game.

The striker is, however, expected to play against Fulham:
“We think that yes, he [Bamford] will play on Friday.”
Bielsa then provided updates on Liam Cooper, Leif Davis and Rodrigo:
“Liam Cooper is sick, Leif Davis has a small problem which is nothing serious.
“Rodrigo had a muscle injury yesterday in training, I don’t know if he will be available on Friday. Either way it’s not an important injury.”
