Fulham host Hull City at Craven Cottage this Saturday, 17 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 14:00 UK time, as both sides look to strengthen their position in the Premier League.
The hosts are under increasing pressure after collecting just two points from their opening six league matches and remain winless. Hull, meanwhile, have made an encouraging return to the top flight, sitting eighth with nine points and showing they can compete against established Premier League sides.

Odds are subject to change.
Fulham have generally enjoyed the upper hand in recent meetings with Hull City, winning six of their last ten encounters, compared with three victories for the Tigers and one draw.
The London side have also won each of the last four meetings between the clubs without conceding a goal.
That record offers encouragement to Fulham as they look to end their winless start to the league campaign. However, their current struggles mean they cannot take anything for granted against a Hull side that has adapted well to life back in the top flight.

Here is a closer look at Fulham’s current situation. We will highlight the team’s momentum, their latest displays, and how they might approach this new test against Hull City.
Fulham sit bottom of the Premier League after taking just two points from their opening six matches, recording two draws and four defeats. Their latest setback came against Ipswich, where they conceded a late goal to lose 2-1 after taking the lead.
There have been some brighter moments in the cup competitions, including victories over West Ham and AFC Wimbledon, but Fulham’s league form remains a major concern. They have yet to win at Craven Cottage in the Premier League this season.
Several fitness concerns could impact the team selection. Captain Tom Cairney is being monitored, while Antonee Robinson and Hugo Larsson are doubtful. Joshua King, who has scored twice this season, could again feature in an advanced role.

Let’s now take a look at Hull City’s situation. We’ll analyse the team’s momentum, their expectations, and standout players for the trip to London.
Hull sit eighth in the table with nine points from six matches, having won twice, drawn three times and lost once. Their latest league outing ended in a 2-2 draw with Everton, with the Tigers fighting back to secure a point at home.
Their only league defeat so far came away to Newcastle, where they lost 2-1. However, Hull have conceded exactly twice in each of their last three league matches after keeping clean sheets in their first three, so tightening up at the back will be a priority.
Hull have some important absentees to manage. Nobel Mendy is ruled out with a groin injury, while Mohamed-Ali Cho and Lucas Gourna-Douath are also unavailable. Mohamed Belloumi, who has three goals and two assists in six league appearances, could return to the starting line-up.
