About Fulham

Fulham Football Club is a professional association football club based in Fulham, West London, England. Founded in 1879, they currently compete in the Premier League, the top tier of English football, following their promotion from the EFL Championship in the 2017–18 season. They are the oldest football team from London to play in the Football League.

The club has spent 25 seasons in English football's top division, the majority of these in two spells during the 1960s and 2000s. The latter spell was associated with former chairman Mohamed Al-Fayed, after the club had climbed up from the fourth tier in the 1990s. Fulham have never won a major honour, although they have reached two major finals: in 1975, as a Second Division team, they contested the FA Cup Final for the only time in their history, losing 2–0 to West Ham United, and in 2010 they reached the final of the UEFA Europa League, which they contested with Atlético Madrid in Hamburg, losing 2–1 after extra time.

Previous Meeting

We last played Fulham on Boxing Day last year in the Sky Bet Championship. We lost 4-2 at the Cardiff City Stadium, with Kenneth Zohore and Callum Paterson getting our goals. Tim Ream, Floyd Ayite, Ryan Sessegnon and Stefan Johansen scored for the visitors.

Cardiff City vs Fulham: Why two clubs with identical journeys have taken such different paths


By Dominic Booth

Thursday 18th October 2018


Cardiff City fans would be forgiven for not remembering the last time their team won at home in the Premier League. It was a while back.

A Steven Caulker brace either side of Lewis Holtby's strike for Fulham, coupled with an own goal by Sascha Riether, secured a rare 3-1 victory for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side on 8th March 2014, briefly igniting hopes that the Bluebirds could survive.

Cardiff supporters have endured eight unsuccessful attempts to win a top flight home match since then, with a four-year absence from English football's top table skewering that poor run.

Fulham, of course, went down alongside the beleaguered Bluebirds in 2014.

Using three different managers over the course of that campaign and earning just two points more, it's fair to say the west Londoners went down amid disarray that was comparable to Cardiff's.

Four years later, having established a coherent playing style under a charismatic manager, both teams have been reinvigorated, now back in the big time. Together again, you might say.

Yet they have taken very different paths to arrive at the same destination.




The owners' approach

Cardiff's desire to bounce back to the Premier League following relegation is a well told tale. The big money paid for Bruno Manga, Sean Morrison and Adam Le Fondre, while the (short-lived) faith from the hierarchy in Solskjaer to bring them back said a lot about where Vincent Tan wanted his club to be.

But as it became clear Cardiff weren't ready for an immediate return to the Premier League, cutting costs became a necessity.

Even though Neil Warnock's genius has helped bring the Bluebirds back from the doldrums, Tan has maintained a much more frugal approach as he did when Russell Slade was manager — wary of a repeat of 2013/14's lavish spending.

Fulham too had their financial struggles after relegation, but more recently owner Shahid Khan hasn't been shy of signing some cheques.

“This has been a hard journey over the last four years but regrettably necessary to rebuild the team the right way," Khan said last season when promotion was beginning to look possible.

Fulham and Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan.

“We have committed to our style that is winning football but also pleasing for the fans. We’ve done that part and now we have ambition to move forward.

“The Premier League is where Fulham belongs, the supporters and the players. Getting back there (is) mission one accomplished. But we are an ambitious club. We want to get to the Premier League and then our goal is not to skate by, our goal is to win.

“Money is not a limitation but a number of other things are just as important and we want to go about it wisely and the right way. We have great players, who work hard, you want to see them accomplish and be rewarded.

Then you want have a sustainability programme to invest and supplement (the team) with whatever helps us be more successful."




The managers and playing style

Last season's race for second place in the Championship saw a clash of footballing philosophies with Warnock's more direct football winning out against Fulham's 'tiki-taka'.

That's not to say one style is better than the other, just that the rivalry between Cardiff and Fulham was made more intriguing by their contrasting approaches.

"I can't say I felt confident throughout the promotion season, not when you've got the likes of Fulham and Wolves spending ," said Warnock on the tussle, Cardiff forever playing the role of underdog.

Both games between the pair last season — particularly Fulham's 4-2 win at Cardiff City Stadium on Boxing Day — saw the Cottagers dominate possession. Tom Cairney and Ryan Sessegnon were recognised with nominations and awards at the end of the season for their individual flair, while the Bluebirds' success was categorised as collective.


How those styles would fare in the Premier League was a talking point over the summer, with questions over whether Cardiff could adapt to become more attacking — and conversely could Fulham be more solid — dominating the agenda.

“We are not going to change the style,” Slavisa Jokanovic told Marca in the summer.

“We are not going to hit balls or park the bus. It would not be a good plan. The Premier League is very demanding, we need to change things. But we’re not going to give up our style.”

Warnock on the other hand, has tried to adapt.

He made the progressive signings of Josh Murphy, Bobby Reid and Victor Camarasa to change the Bluebirds' style. As yet, of course, it hasn't worked.

Whether the Cardiff boss goes back to basics this weekend remains to be seen.




Money talks, or does it?

Of course Fulham have hardly pulled up trees this season either, despite an outrageous spending spree in the summer that rivalled any club in Europe.

Their £110million summer outlay was more than Barcelona and more than every other Premier League club bar Chelsea and Liverpool as André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Jean Michael Seri, Alfie Mawson, Andre Schurrle and Aleksandr Mitrovic, among others.


It was also considerably higher than Cardiff's £28.5m outlay: on Murphy, Reid, Greg Cunningham and Alex Smithies.

After all that, Fulham have won just once in eight attempts this term, conceding 21 goals which is a Premier League high right now.

For all Cardiff's struggles, they could go level on points with Fulham by winning on Saturday, bringing the clubs back to where they've been accustomed to be — on level terms.





The Premier League reality and the big game

So what happens now?



Will the two clubs' futures be entwined the same way their recent pasts are?

Most pundits have predicted a rosy future for Fulham, while a sense of doom and gloom surrounds Cardiff following their winless start to the season.

With the ambitious Khan at the helm, Fulham have plans to expand their stadium and already boast a squad that appears — on paper at least — Premier League ready. Cardiff's is a work in progress but with the charismatic Warnock in charge, the fans believe they can be top flight long term.

This weekend's clash will be vital. Cardiff have already passed up golden opportunities to lift themselves up the table this season and cannot afford to do so again in front of their own fans.

Match Preview: Cardiff City vs. Fulham


Neil Warnock’s men host the Whites at CCS on Saturday


20th October 2018.


CARDIFF CITY FC



Cardiff City vs. Fulham Tickets are still available




In the hot seat



Slaviša Jokanović’s side arrive at CCS off the back of a 5-1 crushing defeat at the hands of Arsenal at Craven Cottage, leaving the Whites with one win this season.

Jokanović and his team joined Warnock’s side in the Premier League after they won last season’s Championship Play-Off Final, defeating Aston Villa, 1-0. The Whites were forced to take the Play-Off route after they were beaten to the second automatic promotion spot on the final day of the season by the Bluebirds.

The Serbian has managed in six different countries and made over 400 appearances as player, where he represented Partizan, Tenerife, Chelsea and helped Deportivo de La Coruña win their first Spanish league title in their 1999-2000 campaign. The defensive midfielder also netted sixty-six goals during his playing career, the most arriving at Partizan during a three-year spell where he scored twenty goals for the Serbian outfit.

The Serbian also guided the Hornets to England’s top flight in 2015, after Watford finished in second spot.






Squad Info



Aleksandar Mitrović has undoubtedly been Fulham’s brightest player this term, having found his feet at Craven Cottage in 2018. The Serbian striker netted 12 goals in 17 Championship matches during a loan spell last year and has continued his fine form since the move was made permanent in late July, with five Premier League strikes thus far. Fellow striker Luciano Vietto leads the way in terms of assists, with four this term.

Jokanović added seven players on a permanent basis during the summer, including midfield duo Jean Michaël Seri and André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, defensive pair Joe Bryan and Alfie Mawson, and goalkeeper Fabri. Arguably, even more impressive were the players brought in on loan; Premier League and World Cup winner André Schürrle has netted three times already, while Timothy Fosu-Mensah and the aforementioned Vietto have also signed temporary deals from Manchester United and Atlético Madrid respectively.

Despite pressure from Fabri, and another loanee Sergio Rico, goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli has managed to keep his place between the sticks at Craven Cottage. His impressive form has even seen him called up to the England squad in recent months.






Memorable Meeting



Cardiff City 1-0 Fulham - Cardiff City Stadium, January 10th, 2015.

A memorable day for all Bluebirds supporters - that very nearly didn't happen as adverse weather conditions impacted South Wales. Emergency services were called to fix part of the Ninian Stand - damaged by the excessive winds.

18-months before he became skipper, Sean Morrison, stepped up on that day, heading home an Aron Gunnarsson long throw to the delight of the 22,000+ in attendance at CCS.

Scott Malone and Alex Revell made debuts for Cardiff City against the Whites during that game.









Club Connections



The aforementioned Malone moved from City to Fulham in summer 2016 as part of the deal that brought former Academy player Jazz Richards back to Cardiff City FC. The English left-back has since gone on to play for both Huddersfield Town and now Derby County.

Another player who could face off this Saturday against familiar opposition is Neil Etheridge. The Filipino international joined our opponents in 2008, but never made an appearance for the Cottagers and encountered loan spells for Charlton Athletic, Bristol Rovers and Crewe Alexandra during his time in London, before he departed in 2014 to join Oldham Athletic.

Ross McCormack, Phil Stant and Mark Hudson are just a few of the players who have featured for both the Bluebirds and the Whites.

Former Cardiff City manager Alan Cork finished his playing career at Fulham during the 1994-95 season - scoring three times. He later joined the backroom staff at Craven Cottage.

Cardiff go in search of their first Premier League victory of the season on Saturday as Fulham visit south Wales.

Neil Warnock's men are one of three teams without a league win this season, along with Huddersfield and Newcastle. If Cardiff fail to win on Saturday then it would be their worst-ever start to league season after nine games.

Finding stability at the back has been a problem for Warnock's side since stepping up from the Championship. They've conceded 17 Premier League goals this season - only Fulham (21) have conceded more.
The pressure is slowly rising on manager Slavisa Jokanovic, who oversaw a summer net spend of £105m.

However, Jokanovic has played down the significance of Saturday's fixture.
Even though Jokanovic's inconsistent team can secure three vital points and finally build some momentum amid speculation surrounding his future, he said: "After this is 29 games more. The end of the game is not the end of the Premier League.
"If we win, a long period is ahead and we will find more tough afternoons. If we lose, it's the same - there are 29 more."

Team news
Fulham skipper Tom Cairney is nearing a return but won't be ready for this weekend.

Cairney's ankle problem flared up in the defeat to Everton and he won't be risked while Joe Bryan is remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

However, Timothy Fosu-Mensah could be back in the fold despite dislocating his shoulder last month.

Meanwhile for Cardiff, Aaron Gunnarsson is in line for a return from his knee injury but Warnock's men will be without the suspended Joe Ralls after his red card against Tottenham.

Fulham have won just once themselves this term, shipping 21 goals in the process and Cardiff, having finished above Slavisa Jokanovic's side in last season's Championship, may fancy their chances.

We say it every week at this level, but this feels like a massive game for Cardiff today.
In a similar vein to the Burnley clash a few weeks ago, this is the sort of game against teams around them that you have to beat otherwise we will have virtually no chance of staying up.

NATHAN BLAKE:

"The one positive from Cardiff’s defeat to Spurs last time out was that they looked far more solid defensively, doing well to keep it so close having gone down to 10 men."

"I think this one will be the tightest of affairs because a point isn’t great for either manager. Aleksandar Mitrovic is a great player and will be crucial to how Fulham attack Cardiff — but both teams look a little fragile for me. The Bluebirds to nick it from a set-piece. "

City to win 1-0

A few nice touches from Camarasa and Reid allow Cardiff to have a spell of possession in the Fulham half.

Then some interplay between Paterson and Camarasa gift Murphy an opportunity for Murphy but his effort is tipped wide.

From the corner, Paterson heads wide.

Free-kick for Cardiff as Paterson is fouled.
Solid ball in finds Gunnarsson but Fulham half clear.

After a few 50/50s, Murphy drags an effort just wide.
