by Steve Ashfield in FA Cup Predictions
Two Premier League sides face each other in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Fulham are home to Crystal Palace with the winner going through to the last four. Can the Cottagers make it to Wembley with a home win? Here's our match prediction.
2025 is a special year for Fulham as it marks half a century since they played in their only FA Cup final. They last reached this stage in the 2022-23 season but are going well again this season and beat Manchester United in the last round.
Crystal Palace are four places below Fulham in the Premier League but have won at Craven Cottage already this season. They last reached the FA Cup semi-finals in 2022 and it is nine years since their last appearance in the final. The last six seasons have seen them lose in their opening match four times but the other produced a quarter-final and a last four appearance.

Fulham - Crystal Palace: Form Analysis
Fulham look for revenge against Crystal Palace after losing a home game against them last month. It's not all bad news though as they won away at Selhurst Park in November 2024. The Cottagers are still hopeful of European football next season, qualifying either through their final league position or winning the FA Cup for the first time in their history. This is only their second home tie in this season's competition.
The other saw them get a 4-1 home win over Watford in the third round. Since then, they have won away games at Wigan and Manchester United. The latter came via a penalty shootout after a draw. All three cup ties saw both teams score.
Will the Eagles be flying high?
Crystal Palace are facing their first Premier League opposition in this season's FA Cup. To reach the last eight, they have beaten Stockport County, Doncaster Rovers and Millwall. Thy are in excellent form at present and a win here will be their fifth in a row.
Palace are yet to concede an away goal this year and their last seven matches on the road have all seen under 2.5 goals scored.

Fulham & Crystal Palace Squad Analysis
There's good news for Fulham with Sasa Lukic available again for selection. He has missed their last two games due to suspension. The midfielder is likely to make his return with Andreas Pereira possibly losing his place in the starting line-up.
Fulham do not have any new injury problems and will continue to be without Harry Wilson, Reiss Nelson and Kenny Tete. Adama Traore is fit again and he'd love to be given the chance to add to the two goals he has scored for Fulham this season.
Home advantage is always important in a cup tie but Fulham have only won three of their last nine at Craven Cottage. Four of those games have ended level and remember, if that happens here, we will have extra time and perhaps even penalties.
Mateta in a mask?
Crystal Palace will hope to have Jean-Philippe Mateta back for this FA Cup tie. He has been out since sustaining an ear injury in the fifth round tie against Millwall. If he does play, he will likely play in a mask to protect his left ear which needed 25 stitches.
Palace have gone seven away games without conceding and will hope their strong defensive record will continue in this match. They won 2-0 at Craven Cottage last month.

Our Fulham vs Crystal Palace Prediction
The winner of this match will make it to Wembley where both semi-finals will be played. While Palace won 2-0 at Fulham last month, they lost to them at Selhurst Park so it is difficult to predict who might win this match. Fulham have home advantage but not the best of records at Craven Cottage in recent months.
Crystal Palace have an excellent defensive record on the road and that is likely to play an important role in this fixture. Our main Fulham v Crystal Palace prediction is under 2.5 goals to be scored.
