    Unlike with Palace and Sunderland (too early to judge Cardiff), a change of manager seems to have had little effect on Fulham. But then again, he has been stuck with the same ageing squad that I've been criticising for about two years now.

    I'm not looking at this game in isolation though. The next three together are all winnable. Absolute minimum of five points, but ideally seven or nine.

    All comes down to Fulham's willingness to move those old legs. If they stand off and let us have the ball, as they did in the first meeting (and have done in many of their games since), this could be another thrashing. If they make an effort, they do have enough quality in attack to find a goal or two.

    Taarabt in talks with Milan apparently. So could not be here to play against us if true.

    I am travelling to this game and will also be disappointed not to win this, if we are going to win away this needs to be one of them.

    Don't have a clue where I'm sat, someone from Fulham got them for us, but probably the neutral area. Saying neutral zone, it nearly sold out before the away tickets even went on sale, it's going to be nearly entirely Saints fans.

    Does sitting in the neutral area affect how stoked you are for the game?

    Peach says Fulham to announce new signing tomorrow morning. Not Mitroglu.

    Kvist? Whoever it is, they will be eligible to face us.

    Not really worried, unless it's Ronaldo I'll be dubious of their potential to change a game without having properly trained with the squad.

    What's a "neutral end"? Both sets of fans sitting together?

    Fulham is the only club that has a neutral area where anyone can buy a ticket. Will be mainly Saints fans as it is a rare chance to get tickets for an away match.

    Fulham aren't the kind of team who are one player short of being ok, they've got problems everywhere. That's why I think they're finishing 20th.

    Yeah. They do it at the rugby. In the whole stadium.

    I hope chambers stays in for this match, I'm starting to think he could be better than clyne. He's certainly more physical.

    Fulham announce the signing central midfielder William Kvist on loan until the end of the season from Stuttgart.

    Will they play him straight away? Difficult decision that. Stick or Kvist?

    Mauricio says that he expects Rickie to be fit to play against Fulham.
