Follow live coverage as Fulham face Leeds United in the Premier League today.
Fulham manager Marco Silva made one change from his side’s 3-1 win at Everton last weekend.
With Daniel James ineligible to face his parent club and Aleksandar Mitrovic still suspended, Bobby De Cordova-Reid was chosen to lead the line.
Leeds made three changes from their hammering at the hands of Liverpool, with Liam Cooper, Max Wober and Crysencio Summerville called up into the starting XI.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Fulham vs Leeds United
That's back-to-back wins for Fulham and it moves them above Brentford into ninth for now, with the Bees kicking off shortly. They travel to Aston Villa next week. Leeds have lost three on the bounce now, and it leaves them just two points above the drop zone. It's a huge game for them next time out as they host fellow strugglers Leicester City.
Fulham vs Leeds United
Fulham hold on to beat Leeds United 2-1. The hosts dominated the first half, but couldn't find a way through. Wilson eventually broke the deadlock in the 58th minute, after Meslier tipped a cross straight to him and he rifled it in off the underside of the crossbar. Pereira smacked the bar with a free-kick not long after before making it 2-0, also pouncing on a loose clearance from Meslier to smash it in. Palhinha's own goal handed Leeds a late lifeline, but they couldn't salvage a point.

Meslier is up for Leeds' corner, but Roca's cross is well over his head. Fulham can't clear their lines and it falls to Summerville, but he squanders their final opportunity by sending it wide of the far post.
