Week 24 brings us a match on Dec 26th, where Fulham hosts Birmingham City in a clash of the Championship.

In their last match, 1st placed Fulham, recorded a 0-1 loss against Sheffield United. Ndiaye scored the first goal for Sheffield United in the 3rd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Fulham was frustrated by Sheffield United’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Sheffield United ended the match with the shutout victory. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Fulham should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Birmingham City recorded a 0-4 loss against Blackburn Rovers.
