Team shape · 05

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home

Fulham

Fulham are likely to sit in a compact shape at Craven Cottage and wait for a single opening rather than chase control.

Away

Sunderland

Sunderland are a pragmatic mid-table team: sturdy out of possession on the road at Craven Cottage, but short of the creativity to dictate a game.

What could change · 06

What would change the KhelKing prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If

    Fulham field a weakened XI

    Then

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If

    Sunderland score first

    Then

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If

    a red card arrives in the first hour

    Then

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.
