TEAM NEWS

Fulham midfielder Scott Parker is expected to recover from a dead leg in time to face Hull.
Kieran Richardson, Sascha Riether and Mahamadou Diarra could also be available despite missing last week's defeat at Tottenham.
Hull forward Shane Long is fit again after a calf injury sustained against Arsenal last week.
Fellow forward Sone Aluko is also expected to be part of the squad after a hamstring problem.

MATCH PREVIEW

Felix Magath has never wavered in his insistence that Fulham will stay up, but time is running short and there's little or no room for error now.

LAWRO'S PREDICTION

Mark Lawrenson
Football analyst
"This is a huge game for Fulham, who are banking on winning this one and their final home game, against Crystal Palace on 11 May, to stay up.

"The Cottagers were competitive at Tottenham last time out, despite their eventual defeat at White Hart Lane, and they are nothing like as bad a team as they were three or four months ago."

Read Lawro's full prediction and score
Magath has said all along that home games are key and, realistically, they need to win this one and beat Crystal Palace at the Cottage on the final day to stand any chance of staying up.
Fulham will feel optimistic after winning two of the last three at home, most recently beating Norwich 1-0, and given Hull's pretty awful record on the road this season.
Only Norwich (13) and Fulham themselves (12) have lost more league games on their travels than Steve Bruce's side, who've lost 11.
Talking of poor away form, the reverse fixture in late December was notable for the shambolic second-half collapse of Fulham that saw them concede six goals in the second half at the KC Stadium.
It was, and still is, Hull's biggest-ever win in the Premier League and remains Fulham's worst Premier League defeat. Hull couldn't stop scoring that afternoon but after hitting six in one day, they've struggled to scale those heights since.
Conceding goals has remained a problem for Fulham. Three conceded against Tottenham last week took them to 77 so far, which is already 17 more than they've ever let in before in a Premier League campaign.
Hull have 36 points and should be fine but they could do with another one or two between now and the end of the season just to make sure.
In 11 of the 18 seasons since the Premier League went to 20 teams, 36 points has not been enough to avoid the drop.
It was for Fulham in 2007-08, though, as they avoided falling through the trap door on goal difference ahead of Reading. They're currently six points short of that as they head into what appears to be a must-win game.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head
Hull have won the last two Premier League meetings, scoring eight goals without reply, including a 6-0 victory in the reverse fixture this season. That defeat was Fulham's heaviest in the Premier League.
Fulham have only beaten Hull once in the Premier League (W1, L4).

Fulham
Only Sunderland (12) have earned fewer points at home this season than Fulham (16). However, they have won two of their last three league games at Craven Cottage.
Fulham have the worst defensive record in the Premier League this season, conceding 77 goals.
They have conceded a league-high 31 goals from set pieces this season.
The Whites have won three of their last six league matches.
Six of Fulham's nine league goals since Felix Magath took over have been scored in the second half.
Steve Sidwell's seven goals this season represents his best-ever Premier League return.

Hull City
Hull scored six second-half goals to beat Fulham 6-0 on 28 December. In the 15 Premier League games since then, they have only scored 12 times.
Only Cardiff (10) and Norwich (8) have earned fewer away points than Hull (11) this season.
If only the second half of games counted this season, Hull would be bottom of the league.

Come buttare la salvezza in 15 minuti. Ora solo 6 punti nelle due partite finali possono servire. Ma potrebbero anche non bastare.

Che peccato! Per venti minuti ci si poteva credere. Una squadra troppo vecchia - incapace di rimanere competitiva per 90 minuti. Holtby and Parker molto deludenti. Non si capisce perché Dejagah e Richardson non abbiano giocato dall'inizio.

Non di possono buttare via due punti in questo modo. Ora dobbiamo non solo vincere ma anche sperare nei risultati degli altri...

Magath ha ricevuto delle critiche sul Friends of Fulham forum, di cui faccio parte, per avere scelto una formazione troppo difensiva. Se il Sunderland pareggia oggi con il Cardiff, le nostre esigue speranze potranno sopravivere un altra settimana. Probabilmente a Stoke riceveranno una sepoltura meritata. Nel frattempo, c'è sempre il Frosinone!

Incredibile il modo in cui il fulham si è fatto rimontare quando era in vantaggio di due gol. Nonostante le amnesie difensive questa squadra almeno ha cuore. Se oggi Cardiff e Sunderland asssegna solo due punti equamente divisi ci sono ancora spoeranze xchè il Norwich, che è davanti, probabilmente non farà più punti dovendo affrontare Chelsea e Arsenal.
