Fulham season 2023–24 Preview: Last season was the first time since the 2017-18 season Fulham manage to stay in a league for consecutive seasons. This is due to the fact they were either relegated or promoted in each of those seasons. However, now that they have managed to stay up in the Premier League, it is crucial they avoid 2nd season syndrome. And establish themselves as staples of the top flight. They will be trying to do so in the following games.

Fulham achieved a mid table finish last season. This season, the key would be to attain a level of consistency in the league. While their fans would certainly want their side to push for Europe, Not ending up in the relegation zone would be a realistic goal for the club this season.
