• Fulham host Crystal Palace in the FA Cup quarter-finals, live on ITV
• Cottagers aiming to reach first semi-final since 2001/02
• Palace defeated Fulham in Premier League back in February
• Fulham XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Pereira, Iwobi, Willian; Muniz
• Crystal Palace XI: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Lerma, Wharton, Mitchell; Sarr, Mateta, Eze

22 mins: Wharton is already on a yellow and he’s VERY lucky not to be off.

He gets knocked into by a running Muniz and responds by subtly kicking out at Muniz, who goes down in a heap. The touch was minimal and safe to say Muniz was milking it, but that’s a yellow card offence.

VAR look at it and it’s rightly not deemed a straight red, which is the only thing they can act on. Wharton gets away with it.

19 mins: CLOSE! What an assist that would’ve been from Bassey!

The defender runs onto a pass from Willian and sends Richards to the shops to give himself ages in the box to pick out a white shirt.

He pulls it back to Pereira who drags his shot just wide of the far post.

14 mins: A second late sliding challenge of the game and Wharton is in the book.

He’s on a tightrope with a massive portion of this game to play.

13 mins: Brilliant burst of pace from Sarr towards the byline before playing it across towards the on-rushing Mateta. Well defended by Berge who cuts it out to concede a corner.

Palace win the first header from the corner and it bounces in a dangerous position, but no-one can get the decisive finish and Leno collects.

12 mins: Palace are being peppered with crosses, with Fulham heads winning two corners in quick succession. They don’t get enough on either effort, though, and it’s simple for Henderson.

8 mins: Lovely ball in from Emile Smith Rowe nearly bends around the Palace defenders and into the path of Muniz, but a blue and red shirt gets just enough on it.

Dangerous corner is then whipped in moments later, with Bassey coming in at the back-post – Guehi does superb under a lot of pressure to get away.

6 mins: Fulham dominating possession early on here and have got the support of a rabid crowd behind them.

This has an atmosphere akin to when Juventus came to town on that famous Europa League night in 2010. It’s absolutely bouncing.

2 mins: CHANCE! Fulham immediately on the front foot and fashion a glorious opening to take the lead!

Muniz skips past his man and drives into the box before firing a side-footed finish towards the far corner, but he just doesn’t get the bend on it – with it passing the wrong side of the post.

1 min: KICK-OFF! We’re underway at the Cottage.

Will Castle29 March 2025 12:17

We’re fast approaching kick-off at Craven Cottage as Fulham and Crystal Palace vie for a place in the FA Cup semi-finals.

Both sides are just one win away from a trip to Wembley.

We’ve got all the action, up next.
