Both sides haven’t lost many key players from the season previous so will be up and raring to go.
Despite this, Fulham have been impeccable against Brighton in recent times, with their last loss being inflicted from a player the Seagulls no longer have. For that, It’s Fulham’s game.
Other markets include Adama Traore to have two or more shots on goal, Raul Jimenez as anytime scorer and Danny Welbeck to score or assist at any time during the game.
