Fulham Domination The Last Time These Two Sides Met
It was a poor day in London the last time Brighton travelled to Craven Cottage to play Fulham.
Harry Wilson enjoyed an excellent game scoring the first and providing an assist for Rodrigo Muniz.
Adama Traore capped off a 3-0 victory but Fulham really could have won by six or seven goals given the quality of their chances on the day.
Brighton Have Failed To Beat Fulham In Eight Premier League Games
The Seagulls’ record against Fulham would be surprising to many given how competitive they have been since joining the Premier League.
Fulham have the upper hand on Brighton & Hove Albion and have an eight-game unbeaten streak against the Seagulls when it comes to the top flight.
It is the joint-most they have played a side (alongside Norwich) without losing a game in the Premier League.

Harry Wilson The Man To Unlock Brighton?
Harry Wilson is mainly used as a substitute for Fulham but showed his worth with a brace in his eight-minute cameo against Brentford and a goal against Crystal Palace.
The Fulham star has also been involved in four goals in his last four Premier League appearances against Brighton & Hove Albion (two goals, two assists).
Wilson scored and also provided an assist in this exact fixture last season. So the winger could be one to watch in Thursday’s night contest.
