A great win!!

Three goals - DONE.

Third clean sheet in a row - DONE.

A brilliant away performance - DONE.

Superb day all round!

Thank you very much for following our updates here, it's been another great day on the road.

We'll be back in action on Tuesday against Norwich in the Carabao Cup - thanks very much for following us and we'll see you then!

Enjoy your night celebrating!



88'

Final sub for us..

The tireless Fraser now makes way for Jermain Defoe.

Two assist for him today, I'm sure the entire FPL population is happy with that!

86'

Sub for us...

Straight after the goal, Brooks makes way for Junior Stanislas.

A great reception for him!


85'

Boom!

GREAT FINISH!

Fraser steams towards the Fulham backline and threads a brilliant pass through for Wilson, who absolutely smashes it past Rico into the net!

Get in there!

85'

GOALLLLLLLLLLL!!

WILSON AGAIN!!!!!!

83'

Celebration to match the finish!


80'

First sub for us...

Lewis Cook makes way to a nice ovation from our supporters.

He's been very composed today for us - Dan Gosling comes on for him.

78'

We're well on top here...

A number of crosses and sweeping passes have resulted in a few more sweeping moves.

Kamara, who has been booked, wipes out Fraser then kicks the ball away... 

So they could possibly be down to nine!  Either way it seems as though since that second goal, the leash has come off - obviously the red card has helped!

73'

Well it's all happening now!

We break with searing pace again and McDonald wipes out Brooks who's in a threatening position on the counter!

Blatant yellow, his second, and now Fulham are down to ten!

Surely, surely, that's us now!

73'

RED CARD FOR FULHAM!

Second yellow for Kevin McDonald!!!

71'

His third goal in four games!!!

Great work!

Wilson nicvks the ball on the half way line with a slide tackle and it gets Fraser away down the left!

He plays a superb ball, the weight of the pass is perfect, to find Brooks who himself made a brilliant run!

He pokes it between the 'keeper's legs - get in there!!!!

70'

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

DAVID BROOKS!!!!!!!!

72'

Not a lot to report...

Sorry!

We are trying to entertain, but Fulham are passing the ball as we remain solid in our defensive shape with 11 men behind the ball.

The manager is barking orders from the touchline as we continue to sit deep.

64'

Having to deal with some pressure...

Tom Cairney has come on for them and has lifted the crowd and had plenty of touches.

Fulham are having a spell on the front foot here as we look to nick the ball off them and break quickly.


60'

Hunting for a second...


60'

A weird atmosphere...

It's  not posionois but Fulham fans are beginning to get frustrated with their team.

25,701 are in the crowd today but it's quite a quiet atmosphere, maybe because we have kept the ball so well too.

30 minutes left to play, click LISTEN LIVE if you haven't got the commentary on!

56'

WHAT A STRIKE!

Of all people Francis!

He smashes a brilliant effort from 25-yards, it swerves and Sergio Rico in goal has to tip it away!

Would've been one of the goals of the season - a sublime effort!

55'

Ten minutes into the half...

Apart from that run from Sessegnon, it's been quiet.

We've wrestled control of the game again and we're on top.

48'

Good chance for the hosts...

Ryan Sessegnon is playing as an inside forward on the right, cutting in on his favoured left foot. 

He skins Lewis Cook on the right and smashes a low ball into the box but no-one is there to convert.

That's a bit of a scare early on as we look to impose ourselves back on the game at the beginning of the half.


46'

Back again!

Schurrle kicks us off as play resumes.

Hopefully another controlled performance - we're attacking towards our fans this half, so let's give them something to cheer!

HT

HALF TIME

Well it wa a quiet end to the half, not boring as we passed the ball around in a controlled a precise manner.

We have bossed the game and shown a real confident side to our game.

Great stuff, but still only a goal in it.

The home crowd feel nervy, let's keep it up in the second-half!

See you in 15 minutes, I'm just going to get warm!

38'

BIG chance for Fulham...

It comes from a set play. 

A corner is whipped in from the right and Denis Odoi makes a run to the near post.

He leaps highest and slams a header, with most of the crowd on their feet, just wide!

Close shave.

35'

What a photo!

Don't be alarmed, we haven't scored again!

We've just had this celebration pic come through from after Wilson's penalty. Love it!

28'

Chance!

Another header for Wilson!

Skipper Simon Francis takes one out of David Beckham's book (too far maybe!)

But he curls a simple sublime cross from deep with plenty of whip on, Wilson was sharp to beat his man and meet it in the middle but it's nodded over!

Again, we look really comfortable here, our quality on the ball is really shining through so far. Still plenty of time to go though!

27'

Another great passage of play...

I've lost count of how many passes, but we must make at least 20 before Daniels gets it in a crossing position out wide.

Sumptuous stuff - at the end Daniels fizzes in a cross which Wilson heads over.

Not a massive chance, but worth highlighting as we look so comfortable on the ball! We are a joy to watch at the moment...

22'

Well saved by Begovic...

A half clearance falls to Andre Schurrle, on loan from Borussia Dortmund, and he smashes a powerful one from the edge of the box.

In all fairness it's a fabulous strike that's hit with plenty of venom, but Begovic sharply reacts to keep it out.

Top save!

19'

Cool as you like!


17'

A yellow card for diving!

Nathan Ake slides a heavy back pass to Asmir Begovic and it's a heavy touch - Kamara latches onto the ball and it looks like he can take a touch and put it in. 

He hurls himself to the floor with Begovic getting a little nick on the ball and in real time, it looks like it could be given.

But in all fairness to Andre Marriner, looking at a reply, he has made a great decision. A really poor dive from Kamara which should be condemned.

14'

GOALLLLLL!

WILSON SCORES!

Cooly down the middle! Get in!

13'

Wilson to take himself....

After winning it, a really poor tackle from Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Wilson will take.

He missed his last one against Cardiff, the fans cry out his name to show they're right behind him though!

12'

PENALTY TO US!!!!!

WILSON FOULED!!! PENALTY GIVEN!!!

10'

Save!

Another lovely break!

Adam Smith pinches the ball off Andre Schurrle and drives forward, giving it to Brooks infield.

The winger provides a magicial turn to beat Jean Serri in the middle and feeds it to Fraser. It's lovely play, but Fraser from 20-yards curls a good effort but Sergio Rico is able to catch it.

Good counter attacking play from us - a hallmark of our away win at Watford.

08'

A half decent opening for us now!

We swiftly counter and an incisive pass from Charlie Daniels finds Ryan Fraser.

He reverses the ball to Callum Wilson out wide, and Wilson looks up to see Brooks has made a really clever run towards the penalty spot!

He punches the ball infield to Brooks but a Fulham defender just gets a touch to diverts it away - it looked a really threatening pass!

04'

Decent opening for Fulham...

Just as we type that last post!

Aboubakar Kamara got half a yard in the box and headed it backwards towards goal, it looped in the air but just landed on the top of the net.

Half a chance, but Kamara did get half a yard free in the area to leap. It's given the crowd an early lift here.

03'

Good start so far...

We're completely dominant and Fulham look really nervous here.

We're passing the ball with ease around the penalty area, and when we have lost it, Fulham defenders do not look confident on the ball. 

A few good crosses have been thwarted and we're on top.

01'

Underway!

David Brooks kicks off an we'll attack towards the home crowd to begin.

Come on lads!

15:00

A minute's silence...

As the game is Fulham's closest to next month's Remembrance Sunday, they've conducted an impeccably observed minute's applause.

Kick-off is moments away now...

14:55

LISTEN LIVE!

Now is the time!

The players are out of the tunnel onto the pitch to rapturous applause all around the stadium, particularly from our fans tucked in behind the goal.

14:36

Some pre-match entertainment!!

14:34

Head to head...

This is the first top flight meetings between us and Fulham, so it's one for the history books (of sorts!)

We have won nine of the 16 games in all competitions against the Cottagers - drawing five and losing nine.

When you saw the headline, you probably knew what was coming, so we won't disappoint.

The last time we played here, we got THAT win. THAT 5-1 win where Steve Cook and Brett Pitman scored incredible goals.

What a day it would be if the game was half as good today for us!

14:26

Who's back??

This guy!

14:25

For those wondering...

We'll be in red and black today.

The mint green third kit is too bright and of course, we can't wear the white away kit!

So we're on the road in red and black - our shirts will also have a commemorative poppy as it's that time of year we remember the fallen war heroes of the World Wars.


14:16

The manager reveals that King is out...

In his pre-match interview, which he has to do before every game, Eddie Howe has revealed that Joshua King misses out through the ankle injury that he picked up on international duty.

He said in his Premier League interview: "We're here with confidence and will approach the game in a really positive way.

"Joshua King has an ankle problem that he picked up on international duty, but it gives other people an opportunity to show what they can do."

14:09

One to watch...

He's in a lot of Official FPL teams... not mine though!

Aleksander Mitrovic scored five goals in his first six Premier League appearances and he really caught the eye.

He hasn't scored in his last three top flight games, hopefully a run that we can keep going today.

I feel awkward posting these stats in case they're jinxed!

14:00

Team news...

A change of system (or at least we think!)

Charlie Daniels returns from injury and is back in the starting line up.

Joshua King is not in the squad, so we'll get more on that as soon as possible , probably in the manager's pre-match interview.

But here's the team with one change from Southampton last week.

TEAM NEWS: Begovic; Smith, Francis (C), S Cook, Ake, Daniels; L Cook, Lerma; Brooks, Fraser, Wilson.

13:40

Did you know?

Callum Wilson has been directly involved in more Premier League goals this season than any other Englishman.

Three goals and four assists - that's some going!

Hopefully another big display from him today, team news is dropping in 20 minutes.

13:24

As for us...

Well the stats look a bit better for the Cherries!

We have secured 23 points from the last 33 on offer, winning seven, drawing twice and losing just twice in that sequence.

In our past six games, we've won four and lost just once.

In addition to those great numbers, we've also won three of our last five away games... 

Let's hope we haven't jinxed it and the run can continue!

13:13

What can we expect from Fulham?

Well, they've had a big boost in the fact that their captain Tom Cairney is in contention to return this afternoon, having only played 26 minutes as a substitute since August.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah is also expected to return as the Cottagers look to improve on their defensive record.

The hosts today have conceded a league-high 25 goals this season - the second highest tally at this stage of a Premier League season, after Southampton conceded 26 in 2012/13.

12:35

Team news...

Eddie Howe said in his press conference that we have a clean bill of health ahead of this one.

He said Joshua King was fit as well, so that's good news!

Elsewhere, there's plenty of competition for places, the manager did hint he may shuffle the pack following the draw at home to Southampton last week.

Full team news to be announced straight from the dressing room here at 2pm.

12:25

Welcome!

The temperature has taken a bit of a turn hasn't it!

We're already at Craven Cottage and are poised to give you all the updates as the Cherries look to continue their good Premier League form in the capital.

As ever, we'll give you plenty of detailed updates in the build and up and during the game on this live blog, and of course, the afcbTV team are poised to bring you live audio commentary across the world.
