The only thing of note to come out of Fulham? Yep, Tommy Trinder with his catchprase "You Lucky People!" apparantly. We will be lucky to come out of this one unscathed though, Fulham with something to prove to those writing them off after five games. I predicted 6 points from our first six games and I am hoping for one against a team in our sector...interesting one this, could be any result tomorrow! Fulham v Cardiff City Fulham pair Aaron Hughes and Bryan Ruiz face fitness tests on their respective thigh and ankle injuries. Goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg, Ashkan Dejagah and Matthew Briggs are all still sidelined. Cardiff forward Peter Odemwingie could be rewarded with his first Premier League start for the club after scoring on his full debut in the midweek League Cup defeat at West Ham. Fellow striker Andreas Cornelius remains out with an ankle problem. MATCH PREVIEW When Fulham beat QPR on 1 April, it virtually ensured their Premier League status and, with eight games still left to play, it seemed another top-10 finish was within their grasp. Mark Lawrenson Says: "Fulham have not won since they beat Sunderland on the opening day of the season but I don't think they have got anything to worry about. A win here will lift them up the table and out of the relegation zone." However, they subsequently ended the campaign by claiming just four more points, losing six of those final matches and scoring just seven more goals in the process. That stuttering form has again plagued them at the beginning of this season too. Fulham have earned just one point since the opening-day win at Sunderland, leaving them in the bottom three of the fledgling table. Only three goals scored indicates their most significant failure. Fulham's April Fools Day success remains their last three-point haul at home. A heartening midweek victory in the Capital One Cup against Everton did at least bring some respite at Craven Cottage - the fact that the scorers were Darren Bent and Dimitar Berbatov was equally significant too. The weekend visitors have also been disappointing of late; Cardiff are winless in the last three, having failed to capitalise on their stunning efforts in humbling Manchester City. Like Fulham, Cardiff have also found goalscoring a problem - drawing a blank on three occasions already. Top scorer Frazier Campbell's brace against Manuel Pellegrini's Manchester City side is his only successful day so far. With such statistics, it's perhaps heartening to note that there's never been a goalless draw in the history of a fixture which dates back to the 1920s! The football annals also offer a particularly good omen for the visiting supporters, as the last time Cardiff won an away game in the top division was back in 1961 at…Craven Cottage. Head-to-head The clubs last met 15 years ago, with Fulham winning 2-1 in each leg of their League Cup first-round tie. Cardiff won the most recent league encounter 4-1 at Fulham in January 1997 when both clubs were in the Football League's lowest tier. There has never been a goalless draw in 25 league and cup matches between the two clubs at Craven Cottage. Fulham Fulham are winless in their last six league matches at Craven Cottage. The draw with West Brom a fortnight ago ended a run of five straight home defeats. That is their only point in four matches since winning at Sunderland on the opening day. They have kept just one clean sheet in their last 17 home matches in the Premier League (1-0 v Stoke on 23 February). Martin Jol's side are the joint-lowest scorers in the division with three goals in five matches. Last season's 15-goal top scorer Dimitar Berbatov has yet to score in four league appearances this campaign. Cardiff City Cardiff's last top-flight away win came against Fulham in November 1961. They have since drawn four and lost 11 of their 15 away fixtures in the division. The Bluebirds didn't manage a single attempt on target during last Sunday's defeat by Tottenham, who had 29 shots - the most by any team in a Premier League game this season. They have only led a Premier League match for 11 minutes this season - in the 3-2 home win over Manchester City. All four of their Premier League goals have come after half time.
Here's the team news for Cardiff City to face Fulham: Marshall; Theophile-Catherine, Turner, Caulker (C), Taylor; Medel, Gunnarsson, Odemwingie, Whittingham, Kim; Campbell No Bellamy?
I quite rate that move. Bellers as an impact option for the last half hour must be an awesome card up Malky's sleeve - let's hope we don't need him to go on.
This team looks a little more offensive. Just what many on here have been demanding. Let's hope it gets us the three points.
oops tried it myself and went to St Mary's try this then click our game but wait for the ads to disappear themselves 20secs approx http://atdhe1.net/
Take a look at the table & see who's now just below us... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24185239
A great win against one of the teams who will finish near the bottom. Need to do the same against Newcastle next.
