It will be Fulham F.C. vs Southampton F.C. in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, so ahead of the game we have taken a look at some stats involving both sides.
Fulham F.C. vs Southampton F.C. Stats Ahead Of Sunday’s 2pm Premier League Clash
Southampton face a tricky away trip on Sunday afternoon as they play a Fulham side who are fresh off taking points away from title challengers Arsenal and Liverpool.
Russell Martin was sacked by bottom-of-the-table Southampton just hours after their 5-0 defeat to Tottenham last weekend.
Simon Rusk has taken on the role on an interim basis – with his first game being a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
Though reports on Friday have claimed that Southampton have agreed a deal with former Roma boss Ivan Juric to replace Martin. Though it would be unlikely he will be in the dugout on Sunday.
Southampton will be hoping for a big result against a side who historically they have a good record against.

Fulham Snatch Late Win Last Time These Sides Met At Craven Cottage
Fulham took six points from Southampton in the 2022-23 season – with the Saints relegated at the end of the season.
In the meeting at Craven Cottage, James Ward-Prowse – then at Southampton – scored goals in both the right and wrong net for the Saints, as the game looked to be heading to a 1-1 draw.
That was until Joao Palhinha headed in a late winner for the Cottagers. Fulham had the chance to add another in stoppage time only for Aleksandar Mitrovic to be denied from the penalty spot.
Mitrovic though would go on to score in the reverse fixture at Southampton, as Carlos Vinicius also netted in a 2-0 win for Fulham.
