FulhamScored vs Burnley
Jimenez scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Burnley.
Analysis: Jimenez scored one of three goals scored for Fulham, having drew a penalty in the process. In 2026, the forward has scored five goals and one assist in 13 PL appearances, collecting nine shots on target, 12 key passes and winning nine tackles in that span.
Single shot in loss
Jimenez had one shot (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to West Ham United.
Analysis: Jimenez had a day to forget leading the line Wednesday, he took a single shot, failed to put it on goal and did little else. It was a miserable match for the Fulham attack and Jimenez was right in the middle of that. He just couldn't get anything done going forward and was frustrated throughout.
Nets brace Sunday
Jimenez scored two goals from two shots while crossing once inaccurately and creating a chance during Sunday's 3-1 win over Sunderland.
Analysis: Jimenez scored in the 54th and 61st minutes while leading Fulham with his two shots in the match. The goals were the first since February 1st for the forward as he's combined for seven shots and two chances created over his last three league appearances.
Leads team in shots
Jimenez recorded three shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-0 loss against Manchester City.
Analysis: Jimenez would come close to scoring on a few occasions on Wednesday, but was unable to find the back of the net, with one of his three shots hitting the target. He remains the club's lead forward with his six goals, coming on 57 shots in 25 appearances (21 starts).
Takes two shots in defeat
Jimenez registered two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Everton.
Analysis: Jimenez was indirectly involved in his team's goal, with his lone shot on target in the match bouncing off two opposing players before going into the net. The striker also won nine of his 16 duels during the game. He has been extremely busy in the 2025/26 campaign, tallying six goals and three assists across 24 EPL matches (20 starts). However, the return of Rodrigo Muniz from a lengthy injury opens the possibility that the Mexican international will be relieved or rested in some games over the final half of the season.
Penalty sparks comeback
Jimenez scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 defeat versus Manchester United.
Analysis: Jimenez kept Fulham alive by burying an 85th minute penalty into the top-left corner after being brought down in the box. He had been denied earlier in the same sequence, seeing a mishit effort saved before earning the spot kick. The goal completely changed the late game dynamic and gave the Cottagers a lifeline, though the eventual equalizer still proved out of reach. Jimenez took four shots (two on target) and netted his sixth goal of the season in 23 Premier League appearances this campaign, putting him at half of his last season's total as he continues to trail his previous scoring pace.
Opens scoring in victory
Jimenez scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and three chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.
Analysis: Jiminez clinically tucked-away a headed effort Wednesday to open the scoring in Fulham's 2-1 home victory over Chelsea. In addition to his attacking prowess, the forward tracked-back to contribute two tackles (one won), one interception and one clearance to the defensive effort across his 90 minutes of play. Over his last five appearances (five starts), Jiminez has scored three goals and assisted once.
Assists for draw
Jimenez assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
Analysis: Jimenez set up a hugely important goal as Fulham earned a surprise point against Liverpool. It was a nice showing all-around for the striker, he was threatening with the ball and created a goal. Jimenez will need to continue to be efficient in the coming weeks with a rough run of matches ongoing during the busy winter schedule.
Nets lone goal in win
Jimenez scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus West Ham United.
Analysis: Jimenez netted the only goal in the match, securing the win vs West Ham. He has four league goals through 17 matches, adding on two assists, nine shots on target and 10 key passes, still far from his full potential during the first half of the season.
Scores lone goal Monday
Jimenez scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal) in Monday's 1-0 victory versus Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 52nd minute.
Analysis: Jimenez scored the only goal of Monday's match, a strike from the penalty spot just before the halftime break. It marked his third goal of the season and his fifth goal contribution. He took five shots for the third time this season, but his penalty was the only one he put on target. He was subbed off in the 85th minute for Jonah Kusi-Asare.
Provides assist
Jimenez assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Jimenez provided an assist with a pair of chances created and nearly came away with a goal but missed the target. In the end it was a disappointing loss and one that largely shut Jimenez down as he only took a pair of shots. The striker will hope to bounce back during some much more winnable matches in the busy December period.
Scores winner Saturday
Jimenez scored one goal to go with six shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Sunderland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.
Analysis: Jimenez scored the match-winning goal Saturday, a close-range strike in the 84th minute assisted by Samuel Chukwueze. It marked his second goal of the season and his first since Sept. 28. He tied a season high with six shots and added two chances created for the second time this season. He also picked up his first yellow card of the campaign just before the final whistle.
Option for weekend
Jimenez is back in training and an option for Saturday's match against Sunderland, according to manager Marco Silva, per Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo. "[Raul] is okay, and he trained with the team this morning."
Analysis: Jimenez had a hip issue heading into the international break but after playing with Mexico durring the international break and trainign this week, the forward has been deemed fit. The forward is then an option for Saturday's contest, likely to see the start at forward due to the absence of Rodrigo Muniz (hamstring).
Dishes assist in victory
Jimenez assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Jimenez earned his first assist of the season by delivering a through ball to Ryan Sessegnon, who buried a shot from the left side of the box in the ninth minute of play. Jimenez also set a season high with his total of three chances created in the match, while this was just the second time in nine appearances on the season that he registered double digits in completed passes.
In starting squad
Jimenez (hip) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Wolves.
Analysis: Jimenez has recovered from the hip issue that forced him off in Tuesday's Carabao Cup win over Wycombe and is in Fulham's starting XI for Saturday's match. The Mexico striker passed a late fitness test and is fit enough to lead the line. His availability is a boost for the squad after the midweek scare.
Will undergo late fitness test
Jimenez (hip) could be in contention to play against Wolverhampton on Saturday, manager Marco Silva told media during Friday's pre-match press conference. "Still in doubt," Silva replied when asked about the striker's chances. "We are going to decide with him tomorrow morning."
Analysis: Jimenez was forced off from Tuesday's win over Wycombe Wanderers in the Carabao Cup with an apparent groin injury, and Fulham will wait until the very last minute to see whether the Mexico striker will be available. A final call on his status will be made closer to Saturday's 11 a.m. ET kickoff.
Forced off Tuesday
Jimenez (undisclosed) was forced off in the 74th minute of Tuesday's victory against Wycombe in the Carabao Cup due to an apparent issue, coach Marco Silva said in a press conference, according to Jack Kelly from Fulhamish. "Raul felt something on the side. Let's hope and see what happens."
Analysis: Jimenez suffered an undisclosed issue during Tuesday's Carabao Cup victory over Wycombe and was forced off in the 74th minute. The striker will likely be assessed in the coming hours to determine if he can be part of the squad for Saturday's clash against Wolves. If he is forced to miss the game, Josh King would be the preferred option to lead the line for the Cottagers.
Six shots in loss
Jimenez had six shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United.
Analysis: Jimenez made his second straight start Saturday and was heavily involved in the attack, taking a season-high six shots and putting two on target. On the defensive end he won seven duels and one tackle as he played the full 90 minutes in his second consecutive match.
Earns start
Jimenez (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Arsenal.
Analysis: Jimenez looked to have had a huge improvement in fitness overnight, landing him in the lineup after he was listed as doubtful for Saturday. It will he just his third start of the season, recording a goal in six games played for Fulham.
Unlikely to play
Jimenez (undisclosed) is doubtful for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Marco Silva.
Analysis: Jimenez is once again a late call for the club, as the forward in not recovered from the injury he suffered ahead of the international break. That said, he appears to be set for a second straight missed match, unlikely to play. Even if he is fit, he will be limited, probably only earning a bench spot.
