Fulham are amongst the strugglers in the Sky Bet Championship this season, sat in 19th place with 37 points from 35 games so far.

It has been a really strange season for them; they find themselves just five points ahead of 22nd place Rotherham, yet leaders Burnley are the only side to score more than the Cottagers this season.

The problem for Slavisa Jokanovic appears to be a lack of experience - their side is extremely young and they are unable to string any sort of good form together - highlighted back in February - where a 3-1 victory over QPR and 3-0 thrashing of Charlton was sandwiched by a 3-0 defeat to Blackburn.

And thanks to the improving form of Championship new boys Bristol City and MK Dons, they are too close to the relegation zone for comfort.

Their next four games will be pivotal in the outcome of their season, with the visits of those two aforementioned relegation rivals.

Their young squad does bring a lot of potential talent - so, in the opinion of FootballLeagueWorld writer Ryan Evans, here are FIVE Fulham players that will be in the Premier League before you know it.......

Moussa Dembele

The Frenchman's potential has been realised this season - he has 11 goals and three assists playing as a striker.

Dembele scored the first goal in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Reading, and his best form of the season was back in October, when he scored five goals and claimed an assist as Fulham picked up seven points in that spell.

He may be out of form of late, but every young player has a spell like that after rising to the heights. Before Saturday, he'd only scored once in his previous nine.

The 19-year old signed for Fulham's youth setup from French giants Paris Saint-Germain in 2012, before being offered a first team contract in July 2013. He made two appearances as Fulham were relegated from the top flight, and didn't score last season.

His rise to one of England's most talked about youngsters happened very fast, and Manchester United and Fulham were linked with him in January.

If Fulham do go down, it will be hard to see Dembele wanting to stay in West London. There is no doubt that his services will be cherished at a number of high-profile clubs throughout the country and the continent.

Ross McCormack

What a season the Scot is having.

Only Burnley's Andre Gray has scored more than his 17 this season, and his seven assists puts him high up on that list too.

After an indifferent spell at Leeds, McCormack decided to swap West Yorkshire for West London in July 2014, bringing a hefty £11 million fee with him.

He since has 33 goals, and currently looks every inch of the transfer fee that the Cottagers had to fork out to secure his services.

He scored the equaliser during Saturday's draw with Reading, proving his worth and ability to pop up at the most crucial of times.

During January, the eleven-time Scottish international attracted a lot of interest from both the Premier League and Championship, resulting in multiple rejected bids from promotion-chasing Middlesbrough, which prompted a transfer request. This was rejected, and he later signed a new deal at Craven Cottage.

The 29-year old knows that if he is ever to play in the Premier League, now is when it's going to happen. McCormack would be a highly useful asset in most lower-league top flight outfits, so don't be surprised to see him donning new colours come August.

Tom Cairney

After signing from Blackburn in 2015, Cairney has since gone on to be one of this Fulham side's most important players.

His form last month meant he was unlucky not to be on the shortlist for player of the month, but his efforts were noted as he earnt his side seven points in four games.

He already has seven goals and five assists from his 29 Fulham appearances, equaling his total at Blackburn, which took him 53 matches to amass.

His passing ability is extremely strong, and seems to produce no matter where Jokanovic chooses to play him. His strongest game may be behind the front two strikers, where he can dictate the play and turn defence into attack well.

Cairney could fit into a Premier League side, and may be a good shout to join one of the sides who are promoted from the second tier in May.

Ryan Tunnicliffe

The former Manchester United youngster went through the Old Trafford youth setup without actually playing in the Premier League for the Red Devils, featuring on loan spells to Peterborough, Barnsley and Ipswich.

He was sold to Fulham in January 2014, where he has so far made 38 appearances for the Cottagers, although he has spent significant time on loan to Wigan and Blackburn in 2014.

The 23-year old's time at Craven Cottage has been problematic, however. In June of last year, he was found guilty of aggravated misconduct with regards to comments he made about then-on-loan-Middlesbrough striker Patrick Bamford, and has recently returned from an operation on a hamstring injury.

Despite Fulham seemingly changing formation most weeks, Tunnicliffe's role has remained fairly static - a deep-lying central midfielder. His ability to disrupt the play is good, and he enjoys recycling this into a new attack for his side.

With plenty of time left in his career, it would be no surprise to see him play in the top flight sooner or later.

Emerson Hyndman

With five substitute appearances on top of his five Championship starts, Hyndman is currently on the fringes of the Fulham squad.

However, the young man has already played for the US national side, as well as captained the U20 side in their World Cup campaign back in May 2015.

Hyndman is a central midfielder who likes to dictate the play, thanks to his good dribbling and passing ability. He is without a doubt one to look out for whenever Jokanovic will give him an opportunity.

With his contract running out this summer, the man who came through the ranks of FC Dallas may well be looking for a new club. Fulham apparently saw off a lot of interest for the midfielder in the first place, and apparently have had bids in the recent January transfer window.

However, no new contract has been agreed, and it is as yet unknown whether he will sign a new deal.

This could possibly open the door to clubs from the top tier of English football signing Hyndman, who would be a good addition to any lower-half side, although he may need experience on a regular basis, which is likely to happen in the second or third tiers.
