Fulham West Brom Odds: Cottagers begin life without Zamora
Ladbrokes Bookmaker (£50 free bets) Latest Betting Odds: Fulham 10/11, draw 13/5, West Brom 16/5
Two teams looking for crucial Premier League points to move away from the relegation zone meet this evening as 14th placed Fulham take on 15th placed West Bromwich Albion at Craven Cottage as you can take up a Ladbrokes free bet on the way.
This mid-table duo may well sit relatively comfortably clear of the bottom three at the moment, but things can change very quickly in the Premier League. They will both want as many points at this stage of the season to avoid any worries in the final few games.

After all, if the teams in the bottom three are to start picking up some wins, Fulham and West Brom are two of the candidates to be dragged into trouble as things stand.
Looking more specifically at Fulham, it is fair to say that they had a rather inconsistent January. They managed excellent victories over Arsenal, Charlton and Newcastle, but then lost to Blackburn and Everton.
Manager Martin Jol will be keen for a more consistent February, although as long as his team are picking up regular wins, he will be fairly content with how things are going. Many do consider this as a transition season for the team after all.
In the transfer market, Fulham sold Bobby Zamora to Premier League rivals Queens Park Rangers, while they brought in Pavel Pogrebnyak as a replacement as well as young winger Ryan Williams.
As for West Brom, well they secured a much needed Premier League victory at Stoke last time out in the league, but their fragile home form was exposed once again with a FA Cup defeat to Norwich.
They will no doubt be looking for more success on the road to compensate for their lack of joy on home soil, so will be keen to pick up their first ever Premier League victory at Craven Cottage.
As far as the team news is concerned, Moussa Dembele could return for Fulham, while West Brom are waiting on the fitness of winger Jerome Thomas.
Overall, this should be a very competitive Premier League clash. Fulham – who have won four of their last five home league matches – will be the favourites, but West Brom will back themselves to come away with a positive result.
