Fulham v Derby

A 1-0 defeat at Derby certainly wasn't meant to be on the script for Fulham fans, and the result is an enthralling encounter on Monday night.

Fulham's free flowing, easy on the eye approach will surely be more suited to the home renewal, but Derby will look to break things up and disrupt the pattern of play. Fulham are probably about right at 4/7 to win this over 90 minutes to give themselves a fighting chance of going up, but it is the striker Aleksandar Mitrovic who we're interested in this one.

Since joining on loan from Newcastle, the Serbian has thrived, scoring 12 times in his 16 starts for the Cottagers. In fact, he's scored 45% of their goals since signing on - quite an impressive number whichever way you look at it.

He's also scored the first goal in six of those matches, and looks fairl prived at 16/5 with Paddy Power and Bet Victor to do so once again.

It's hard to envisage a situation when Derby come out all guns blazing in this one, so its likely to be a steady start from Fulham and you'd back them to be the ones opening the scoring, while the Serb is pretty much the first name on the team sheet at the moment, so there are no doubts in that regard. He's playing for a potential permanent move - with Stanislav Jokanovic very keen - so he'll be supremely motivated to make sure that any move might see him playing in the Premier League rather than the Championship next season.
