Fulham are hunting down Newcastle and their target of Premier League survival. Three weeks ago the gap between those two teams was 10 points. Now it is three.
They have Newcastle looking over their shoulders. Scott Parker’s side have spent all of 2021 in that bottom three, but their confident performances belie their position. Since mid-December, only Manchester City have conceded fewer goals than Fulham.
Joachim Andersen is a calming influence alongside fellow centre back Tosin Adarabioyo. He’s Fulham’s equivalent of Ruben Dias.
You’ll struggle to find a defender who can hit pin-point diagonal balls as well as 24-year-old loanee Andersen.
