David Prutton has predicted Garry Monk's perfect start to continue as Sheffield Wednesday take on Fulham this Saturday.

Both sides come into the game with high expectations after a fairly good start to the season. The Owls have recently appointed former Birmingham boss, Monk, and he earned a victory on his first outing last weekend at lowly Huddersfield.

Fulham will prove a different sort of test for Monk's side but Hillsborough should be rocking after finally putting the managerial situation behind them.

Scott Parker's side come into the game off the back of a 1-1 draw with West Brom, and have had a solid start to the season but have dropped off after recent games, failing to win in three.

Prutton has predicted the home side to come out on top with a 2-1 victory, as Monk takes centre stage at Hillsborough for the first time.

Speaking in his Sky Sports column, Prutton said: "It is so important to get an early win under your belt as a new manager, and that is exactly what Garry Monk did last week as his Sheffield Wednesday side saw off Huddersfield. It just alleviates a bit of pressure.

"Fulham probably should have beaten West Brom last weekend, but once again failed to fully capitalise after dominating so much of the game, with an error at the back then costing them the win late on. I fancy Wednesday to kick on here."

Is this the WORST Sheffield Wednesday XI from the last 10 years? Let us know what YOU think...

The Verdict

It's set to be an interesting encounter with both sides having ambitions of playing in the Premier League. Fulham are one of the favourites for the division and their attacking threat is one of the best in the league.

Sheffield Wednesday seem to have a very promising core, and if they can add some consistency to their play then they'll be there or thereabouts.

It's going to be a riveting battle, and I can see it ending in a score draw, 2-2.
