Match preview

Free-scoring Fulham have surged clear at the top of the Championship and they are likely to prove too strong up front for Blackburn at Craven Cottage.

Marco Silva's Cottagers have scored 82 league goals, of which 34 have been provided by striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored the only goal in their 1-0 success at Cardiff last Saturday.

Harry Wilson and Neeskens Kebano have also had productive seasons and Blackburn know only too well how ruthless the Cottagers can be.

Fulham thumped Rovers 7-0 when the sides met at Ewood Park earlier this season but Blackburn responded impressively to that setback and a recent sticky patch came to an end with a well-deserved home win over QPR last weekend.

It is likely that Tony Mowbray's side will register against Fulham, but the Cottagers do not rely heavily on clean sheets and could simply outscore their opponents.
