Fulham Pursues Historic Premier League Penalty Record vs Leeds

Fulham and Leeds United face off at Craven Cottage amid struggles to score goals this Premier League season, with both teams exhibiting offensive difficulties. Fulham have conceded penalties in each of their last five Premier League matches, and a sixth would be a new league record, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities Leeds might exploit. Leeds, while solid at home with an unbeaten run of 22 matches, have struggled away, suffering a heavy defeat to Arsenal and losing their last eight away London matches, conceding 26 goals in those games. Leeds' only goal so far this season came from a penalty, emphasizing their lack of goal-scoring from open play, compounded by injuries to key forwards Lukas Nmecha and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Fulham's scoring has been minimal, with disallowed goals and own goals contributing to their low tally, and their top scorer Raul Jimenez yet to find the net in league play. Both teams appear to be relying on set-pieces and penalties for goals, hinting at a potentially low-scoring and tightly contested match.
