Dan Burn and Sean Kavanagh return to the Fulham squad for the visit of Watford on Friday. Burn is clear of suspension, while fellow defender Kavanagh has recovered from a thigh injury. Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has recovered from tendinitis and is available, but reserve keeper Jonathan Bond (collarbone) is a doubt. Defender Gabriel Tamas remains out of contention because of cruciate ligament damage.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
This is the first meeting since a goalless draw at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on New Year's Day 2007.
Fulham are unbeaten in the last six encounters in all competitions, winning three. Watford's last win was 2-1 at Craven Cottage in the old Division Two in May 1998.
Fulham have won two and drawn one of the last three meetings at Craven Cottage in all competitions, scoring seven goals and conceding none.

Fulham
They have lost only one of their last eight games in the Championship. Their only league defeat since early October was 2-1 at Brentford on 21 November. Kit Symons's side have won four of their last five home games in the Championship, drawing one. Their last defeat in the league at home was 1-0 against Blackburn on 20 September.

Watford
They have lost their last four games, after going unbeaten in their previous nine games. Watford have not won any of their last three away games, losing the last two. Their last win on the road was 3-0 at Sheffield Wednesday on 18 October.​
 
My betting has been so bad recently I'm tempted to have a bet on fulham and the draw just to help the lads out a bit. Can't say i'm very optimistic but all bad (and good)runs come to an end at some point so fingers crossed it is tonight.
 
I wouldn't like to say until I see the team - we probably need a lucky 1-0 to get things going.

Ekstrand dropped? This, in my very humble opinion, is our best line-up, some may argue about Pudil, and that is a tough one...

Three strong players there! Parker is our Abdi too!
 
Interesting views from Jon Marks who believes that unless we get back on track the Pozzos will be prepared to change the head coach again. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
 
No injury to Ekstrand. We will see if he has been a weak link in our defence, yet he was MOM against Cardiff.
