Fulham host Hull at Craven Cottage at 21:00 Vietnam time on 17 October, still seeking their first Premier League win of the season. According to BongdaPlus, Álvaro Arbeloa's team have two draws and four defeats from six rounds, while Hull have lost only once.

Fulham need a different return

Fulham most recently lost 2-1 to Ipswich on 10 October. Earlier draws against Liverpool, 0-0, and Manchester United, 1-1, supplied points without producing a positive overall start.

They also scored twice against Crystal Palace but lost 3-2. That result places attacking output alongside the need to defend effectively, rather than reducing their difficulties to scoring alone.

The preview describes pressure on Arbeloa following the winless run. It does not announce that the club have replaced their manager.

Belloumi offers Hull an attacking outlet

Hull drew 2-2 with Everton on 11 October. Mohamed Belloumi has three goals and two assists from six league matches, making him a notable contributor in the visitors' opening campaign.

BongdaPlus highlights their transition play and use of space, an assessment of recent performances rather than a guaranteed result at Craven Cottage.

Fulham are reported to be without Tom Cairney and Ryan Sessegnon. Hull's unavailable group includes Nobel Mendy, Jack Butland, Charlie Hughes, Paddy McNair, Darko Gyabi, Eliot Matazo, Hidemasa Morita and Ilyas Ansah.

Those availability reports precede confirmed starting selections. The fixture brings Fulham's search for a first victory against a visiting team with fewer early defeats, with the actual points still to be contested.
