Fulham hosts AFC Wimbledon in Carabao Cup second round
Summary

Fulham faces AFC Wimbledon on August 27, 2026, at Craven Cottage for a Carabao Cup second-round match. This is the first competitive meeting between the two clubs, with Fulham looking to bounce back after a 2-3 defeat to Chelsea. AFC Wimbledon has struggled recently, failing to score in their League One matches and going six games without a win across all competitions. Fulham will likely make changes to their lineup, with several substitutions from the Chelsea match expected to start, while Wimbledon has a fully fit squad and aims to build on their recent penalty shootout victory over Newport County.
