Fulham have been in good form recently and the Cottagers could prevail in an entertaining London derby as Crystal Palace visit Craven Cottage.
Fulham were involved in a thrilling 5-4 contest with Manchester City on Tuesday where the Cottagers almost turned around a 5-1 deficit to rescue a draw.
Crystal Palace’s midweek effort was a rather circumspect 1-0 victory at Burnley and the Eagles could be vulnerable in a 18/1 bet builder at Craven Cottage.

Pays out at 18/1
Cottagers can take down Eagles
There hasn’t been anything wrong with Crystal Palace’s performances this season and the Eagles went into the weekend in fifth place in the Premier League table.
The south Londoners have a little work to do in the Conference League, but last season’s FA Cup winners have still been operating at a high level.
However, it’s not only results which can have an impact on performance level.
The Eagles have lost two of their last three matches and the victory in that sequence was a narrow 1-0 victory over struggling Burnley.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner has made noises to suggest that he was unhappy with the summer transfer window, and lack of spending in south London, which perhaps had led to a little unease at Selhurst Park.
Either way, Fulham have won three of their last five top-flight matches and they appear a side moving in the right direction.
The Cottagers were beaten 5-4 by Manchester City in midweek and Marco Silva’s side were 5-1 down in that tie. However, scoring four goals against one of the strongest sides in the Premier League can hardly be viewed as a negative.
Fulham should have enough to down the Eagles at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
Leg 1: Fulham to win @ 6/4
Goals to flow again by the Thames
Fulham’s 5-4 loss to Manchester City made it 32 strikes in the Cottagers last 10 matches and the trend can continue when Crystal Palace come to Craven Cottage.
There have been 36 goals in the last 14 capital derbies between these sides, and while Palace could struggle to take three points in west London, the Eagles have scored 15 times in their previous nine away games.
A punt on over 2.5 goals looks a solid second leg of a bet builder.
Leg 2: Over 2.5 goals @ 1/1
Guehi in for a caution
Crystal Palace can be expected to shift a fair amount of defence work at Craven Cottage and that could put centre-back Marc Guehi under pressure.
The England international has been shown three yellow cards in his last five starts for Palace and the 25-year-old is tasked with marshaling a fluid and mobile Fulham attack.
Backing Guehi to be shown a card can complete an 18/1 bet builder.
Leg 3: Marc Guehi to be shown a card @ 9/2
