There are just nine games left for Fulham to engineer a remarkable escape from what looks like certain relegation.
With the club some ten-points off safety, it really would be a miracle if Scott Parker, in his caretaker role, could steer the club to safety, but whilst it is mathematically possible to stay up, it’d be churlish to give up all hope.
This Saturday, Fulham will be in action at the King Power Stadium, hoping to get that elusive first away win of the Premier League season, against Leicester City.
Both clubs have, recently, changed their manager, our opponents axed Claude Puel and employed Brendan Rodgers after the side lost four consecutive home games under the tutorship of the Frenchman.
On paper, perhaps Fulham could capitalise on Leicester City’s home woes, but buoyed by a change in manager the Cottagers could feel the backlash a change in manager generates.
With the kick-off fast approaching and with the King Power Stadium filling up nicely, we are now able to bring you the team-sheets to mull over.
