Fulham will have the chance to achieve a winning feat for the first time in 92 years when they welcome Bournemouth to Craven Cottage on Sunday.
The Cottagers will be in high spirits after coming from behind to claim all three points in their Boxing Day clash against West London neighbours Chelsea.
Harry Wilson scored an 82nd-minute equaliser to cancel out Cole Palmer's first-half opener, before Rodrigo Muniz netted a 95th-minute winner to clinch a 2-1 victory and Fulham's first away win at Stamford Bridge since October 1979.
That extended Fulham's unbeaten run to six Premier League matches, leaving them in eighth place and just one point adrift of Bournemouth, who will enter Sunday's fixture in sixth position.
Like Fulham, Bournemouth are also enjoying a fine run of form, having won four and drawn two of their previous six league matches.

Fulham looking to end 92-year wait in Bournemouth clash
While Fulham will face a tricky test, they will enter their final game of 2024 with the chance to end a 92-year wait for back-to-back league wins against Bournemouth.
After beating the Cherries 3-1 in February, Fulham will be looking to record consecutive head-to-head league victories for the first time since 1932.
Fulham recorded 3-0 victories in December 1931 and April 1932 in the Third Division South against the Cherries, who were known as Bournemouth and Boscombe at the time.
Prior to their home win earlier this year, the Cottagers had gone five matches without recording a victory against the South-coast side.
In fact, the West London club have only won two of their previous 14 competitive meetings with the Cherries (D5, L7).

Could Fulham achieve another impressive feat?
Not only will they be looking to claim consecutive league wins over Bournemouth, Fulham will also be hoping to go seven Premier League games without defeat for the first time since the 2010-11 season.
On that occasion, the Cottagers won just one and drew six matches in an unbeaten run which stretched from August to October 2010.
Fourteen years later, Fulham will be hoping to end 2024 with maximum points after winning their final match of the previous two calendar years.
Marco Silva's side recorded a 2-1 victory against Southampton in their final game of 2022, before they repeated that scoreline against Arsenal at the end of December last year.
If Fulham are to get the better of Bournemouth, they will have to do it without the services of Kenny Tete, Harrison Reed and Reiss Nelson.
Midfielder Sander Berge is also set to miss out, while attacker Emile Smith Rowe remains a doubt after being absent from the last two matchday squads.
