FULAM welcomes Watford in the third round of the FA Cup, the first round for teams from the Premier League. The match is scheduled to start at 20:45 at the “Craven Cottage” stadium in London.
The “Hummingbirds” are on a streak of eight games without a loss that stretches back to the end of November last year. They started the new year with a draw with Ipswich in the championship match, at this same stadium, where they tied five games without losing, i.e. four draws, including 1:1 in the derby with Arsenal.
In general, they rarely lose this season. They were defeated in the championship by both Manchester and Aston Villa, and the only setback can be taken at home to Wolverhampton. They were relegated from the League Cup, but only after a penalty against Norwich, and that’s all the bad results this season.
Draws against Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool, and especially the victory over Chelsea, speak for the good and hard work at “Craven Cottage” this season.

Despite barely saving a point against Ipswich (Raul Jimenez won it with two goals from penalty kicks) they are still in the game for a place in one of the European Cups.
On the other hand, Watford, after a good start, started to sink in the Championship table, and it got worse in the last 15-20 days when they recorded three defeats in five games. An additional problem is the increasingly poor performance of the defense, which has failed to keep a clean sheet in the last seven games.
They have the right to hope, especially since they have not lost in the last three visits to Fulham. It is interesting that in all three previous meetings between these teams in the FA Cup, the second leg had to be played, but that will not be the case today, because the FA has decided to end this beautiful tradition, to the horror of all true fans of football and the oldest club competition in the world.
