What is the expectation for Fulham this season?

Quite simply the objective for the Cottagers will be to avoid relegation, as they will want to avoid being dubbed a ‘yo-yo’ team and face the disappointment of yet another relegation.

They have strengthened in key areas, replacing key loanee Nico Williams with the signing of Kevin Mbabu from Wolfsburg, and have also plugged the hole left by Fabio Carvalho’s departure to Liverpool by signing Manor Solomon from Shakhtar Donetsk on loan.
