  • Clint Dempsey has scored nine league goals so far this campaign. He is one short of equalling his last season's tally.

  • In 37 league matches between the two sides at Craven Cottage, Fulham have won 15 times, Blackburn have emerged victorious on 10 occasions, while they have cancelled each other out in 12 matches.
  • But the past decade has seen Rovers have a better record against their west London opponents, winning four and drawing three in last 11 games.
  • Blackburn have conceded 35 goals on the road this season. It is only two goals less than the total number they conceded away from home last season.

LAST MEETING

September 18, 2010: Blackburn Rovers 1-1 Fulham

Fulham came from behind at Ewood Park thanks to a Clint Dempsey equaliser to maintain what was then an unbeaten start to their Premier League campaign. 

El-Hadji Diouf appeared to block goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer in the build up to Christopher Samba's controversial opener, but the Cottagers earned their point after USA international Dempsey headed home Carlos Salcido's floated cross.
