Having lost their first four games back in the Premier League without scoring, Coventry fans would have feared the worst.
However, the Sky Blues followed those up with successive victories, although that streak came to an end at Spurs.
Frank Lampard knows work still needs to be done, and back on home soil, they will be targeting this fixture for another potential victory.
Luke Woolfenden, Aurele Amenda, Josh Eccles and Haji Wright remain on the sidelines, but Coventry will believe they have enough match-winners in the squad.
Ryan Sessegnon is suspended for Fulham after getting sent off against Hull, while Hugo Larsson is injured.
Alvaro Arbeloa will have to reshuffle his team, but will not want to make too many changes after grabbing his first league vicory.
It temporarily took the Cottagers out of the relegation zone, but now they head into this fixture in 18th.
This is the second of three successive fixtures against the newly-promoted sides, giving Fulham another decent chance of picking up all three points.

Whispers predicts: Coventry City 1-1 Fulham
Fulham are 13/10 (2.30) favourites, but given Coventry have home advantage, we are happy to back against the bookies, and you can too using our William Hill promo code.
The Draw at 13/5 (3.60) appeals here, while BTTS – Yes at 8/13 (1.62) reflects how vulnerable both sides are defensively.
In terms of potential goalscorers, Jack Rudoni has netted in each of his last two Coventry appearances, so Rudoni to score anytime at 15/4 (4.75) feels worth a punt.
Overall, we are predicting a 1-1 draw, which is available at 7/1 (8.00).
> BTTS – Yes at 1.62 | Likelihood: High
> Draw at 3.60 | Likelihood: Low
> Rudoni to score anytime at 4.75 | Likelihood: Low
