Noon kickoffs are the worst, but we can make that all better by winning this latest edition of the West London Derby. Friendly neighbors Fulham have made the short trek up the road to the Bridge; if we can send them back with a grand total of zero points, that would be just peachy.
Enzo Maresca has not messed with success, option for the same starting XI as last weekend.
