Fulham are the toppers of the league, and that too by a wide margin. They are going after the title, and more importantly, they are gunning for a ticket to the PL.
Their offense has been simply on another level throughout the campaign. In fact, while none of the other teams have scored 50 goals yet, they have slotted in 81 goals so far.
