It hasn’t quite happened for Emile Smith-Rowe at Fulham yet, having broken into and starred at times in an early iteration of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side. He is yet to establish himself as a regular started after 18 months in West London, but his goal contribution record is still ok, a total of 14 direct contributions in 70 appearances.
He has started four games for Fulham in cup competitions this season, covering this bet in half of them, having scored against Middlesbrough in the last round, and against Cambridge United in the Carabao Cup back in September. In the league he has scored three times this campaign.
Stoke have the best defensive record in the Championship, having conceded just 29 goals in 32 games, but that has only been enough to carry them to 14th spot at present, due to their inefficiency in front of goal. They are winless in six games and if Fulham turn up they should be able to progress to round five.
