Premier League 2022/23 Preview: Fulham

Premier League Prediction – 17th

After ruling the Championship, Fulham will be hoping that they can survive in the Premier League under the guidance of Marco Silva. The West London side have been somewhat of a yo-yo side in recent years, and will be targeting some much needed stability. 

It would be foolish to think that the free-flowing football that Fulham employed in the Championship would be able to standup in the Premier League, so it will be interesting to see how Marco Silva will be able to adapt his side. The coach is no stranger to the Premier League having enjoyed stints at Hull, Watford and Everton and will be fully aware of the rigours needed to beat the drop. 

To date, Fulham have been quiet in the transfer window but the squad is in need of a few players to add depth to their squad. German keeper Bernd Leno has been secured from Arsenal in a cut-price deal which could prove to be one of the bargains of the summer. Number one target João Palhinha was secured in a £18 million deal from Sporting, and Marco Silva will be hoping the midfielder can make an immediate impact.  

Attacker Fabio Carvalho has moved on to Liverpool, and the Portuguese youth international has left a creative void in the side. Fulham fans will be hoping that signing Andreas Pereira can make the difference. The former Manchester United player had plenty of potential when he broke into the team in 2014. However a series of loan moves have halted his progress, and the 26-year old will be looking to prove himself at Fulham.
