Huddersfield Town will make the trip to London this weekend as David Wagner’s side face Claudio Ranieri’s Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday 29 December; 3pm kick-off.
The Head Coach will be hoping his players can secure three points against Fulham after suffering a 3-1 defeat away to Manchester United on Boxing Day.
Fulham currently sit 19th in the Premier League table, just the one point and place ahead of Town.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a 1-1 home draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Ranieri replaced Slaviša Jokanović as Fulham boss on 14 November 2018 and the Italian oversaw a 3-2 win over Southampton in his first game in charge of the West London side.
The last time Town clinched all three points at Craven Cottage was back in 1993, with the last six fixtures seeing Fulham secure four wins and two draws between the sides.
