Recent respective form guides

Fulham's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Cottagers have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Stoke City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Potters have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Fulham's 44 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 8th position. Stoke City see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premier League, showing a record of 39 points from their 33 games played so far,
