Fulham FC

Fulham FC is headed back to the Premier League a year after getting relegated at the end of the 2020-21 season.

Since then, Fulham has slalomed back-and-forth with a promotion or relegation in five consecutive seasons. With only a handful of games left for each team, Fulham is now guaranteed a top two finish in the English Football League Championship. It spent four seasons in the EFL Championship before getting promoted in 2018.

Here's a rundown of how the club has pushed for promotion this season. Aleksandar Mitrovic record-breaking season. The biggest story of Fulham's season is the ...

Tony's dealings this coming summer will be a major focus for Fulham fans, and could be critical in the club's Premier League survival. In addition, Marco Silva and the club must sit down this summer and construct a Premier League tactical plan. Now, the club has seemingly perfected that style of play, but once again, a move up to the Premier League begs the question: Will Fulham give the possession style another go in the top flight, or change course to a more traditional counter-attacking side typical of newly promoted clubs? Players like Harrison Reed, Bobby Reid, and Tom Cairney had revivals in the Championship, but it's hard to forget how poor they were just a year prior in the top flight as regulars in the squad. His record-breaking Championship campaign proves he still has the cutting edge, but across three Premier League campaigns with Fulham and Newcastle, he has not been up to standards. A host of current players have already proven they don't belong in the Premier League, and improvements will be needed. Fulham stayed in the Premier League for 13 seasons, enjoying its greatest success through 2008-2012 that included a seventh-place finish and an appearance in the Europa League final, until it was relegated in 2014. It has been a season to remember for manager Marco Silva and Fulham, scoring an insane amount of goals in the chase for a Premier League place. Silva managed to take Parker's vision of Fulham as a possession team — which never truly came to fruition in the Premier League — and mold it into a reality in the Championship. Fulham held an average of 60.6 percent possession through the Championship season, completing a stunning 457 passes per game. Out of contract players include American defender Tim Ream, midfield maestro Jean-Michel Seri, and center-back Alfie Mawson. Ream is expected to leave the club, as he has proven below Premier League levels in both recent relegation campaigns. After relegation from the top flight in 1968, Fulham languished for decades in the lower leagues. A slight dip in late September saw the club drop to fifth place, but it quickly recovered and was top by late November, never again relinquishing its lead.

A huge clash is upon us in the Championship tonight as Fulham take on Preston - here we have everything you need to know.

The chance to extend their lead at the top of the Sky Bet Championship will be spurring Fulham on along with their home crowd tonight. A shock win today would see them rise three places to nestle in 12th ahead of West Brom. Fulham will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the Sky Bet Championship over Bournemouth to nine points which will have them as clear front runners to win the league and obtain promotion to the Premier League.

Marco Silva's got the win they needed to secure promotion as Aleksandar Mitrovic took his Championship goal tally to 40.

We have to prepare for the big challenge ahead of us.” Emblematic of his club, Mitrovic is highly potent in the Championship and yet has usually disappointed in the higher echelon. The second half began almost like the first, Rodak making a fine save from Archer before Mitrovic lost to Iversen in a one-on-one duel. We have to be really positive, we have to have desire and ambition.” With two goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic taking him to 40 for the season and another from Fabio Carvalho, two stars of the campaign made sure Fulham achieved their objective for the season. Neat play between Mitrovic and the Liverpool-bound Carvalho might have resulted in a second in the 25th minute, only for the teenager to fire wide.
