Craven Cottage — London
Referee: A. Taylor
Team News
Martin Jol still has a reasonably full-strength squad to choose from but
his side slumped to their third successive defeat against United on
Monday. Despite the loss they proved to be a tough opponent for the champions
and Jol will be happy with his side in the most part, especially in
defence where Hughes should keep Senderos out of the side. The likes of Murphy and Ruiz could come back into the starting XI at the
expense of Duff and Frei, with Dempsey able to move back out to the
left wing.
probable lineups : Schwarzer, Riise, Hughes, Hangeland, Kelly, Dempsey. Diarra, Murphy, Ruiz, Dembele, Pogrebnyak. (4-4-1-1).

Paul Lambert will be without captain Grant Holt, who is suspended after he was sent off against Wolves last time out. Morison should replace him to partner Jackson up front, and elsewhere Naughton is likely to start ahead of Lappin at left-back. Russell Martin will therefore continue on the right of the defence, with Pilkington in line to replace Bennett on the wing.
probable lineups : Ruddy, Martin, Whitbread, Ward, Naughton, Pilkington, Fox, Howson, Hoolahan, Jackson, Morison. (4-4-2).

Prediction
Since hitting 5 past Wolves, Fulham haven't scored in 3 matches and if
they were to fail to do so once again it would be the first time they
have ever gone four games without scoring in the Premier League.
Norwich have only travelled to Craven Cottage twice since 2000, losing
both matches, failing to score and conceding 8 in the process. However,
the game between the sides earlier this season was a far tighter affair,
ending 1-1.
Both of these sides look to be home and dry in terms of the relegation
battle, with a point for the visitors good enough to take them to the
desired 40-mark, which would represent an incredible achievement by Paul
Lambert and his side.
Fulham 1 - 1 Norwich
