Crystal Palace have a similar look to their season, eight wins, three draws and nine losses from 20 games, with 31 scored and 36 let in. Their last three outings took them to Lyon, Brighton and Besiktas inside eight days, a heavy away schedule that included a 5-0 defeat at Brighton sandwiched between two Europa League trips.

That recent travel could leave legs tired even with a few days to recover before this one.

Comparative Team Statistics: Fulham vs Crystal Palace

Recent meetings have gone Palace's way

These two have met regularly down the years, and the head-to-head sample stretches back over a decade. What stands out is the recent trend: Crystal Palace have won the last two Premier League meetings, including a 2-3 away win at Fulham just last month.

Further back the fixture has swung both ways, with heavy wins for both sides and several low-scoring draws mixed in. It's not a history that points firmly in either direction once you look beyond the most recent games.

Goals have come from a familiar face on each side

Rodrigo Muniz has two goals in his last two outings for Fulham, suggesting he's found some early rhythm in front of goal. For Crystal Palace, J. Strand Larsen has also chipped in recently with two goals and an assist in his latest appearance.

Both samples are small, so it's hard to draw firm conclusions about squad shape or who starts this one. The data available doesn't tell us who's missing or how either manager plans to set up for this cup round.

A cup round that's tricky to read

Fulham go in as the clear market favourites, but their own form doesn't scream confidence, and they've already lost at home to this opponent this season. Crystal Palace, for their part, have shown they can mix it with decent European opposition, drawing with Besiktas and beating Lyon away within the last fortnight.

With both teams swinging between good and poor results, this has the look of a game that could go either way. The League Cup setting adds another layer of unpredictability, since neither side's recent form has been settled enough to lean on.
