The game of the day by far, this is a clear relegation derby.Who won...probably will remain on Premier League for next season also.
Fulham manager Roy Hodgson: "It's a make-or-break game for both clubs, it's going to be a very tense affair with a lot of nerves and often these games are decided by a stray shot or the odd bounce of a ball. "I don't have any fears that the team is not ready for the game or that we won't work hard and give our best. "But when the only result that is of any interest is a victory you are fearful you are going to concede a counter-attack goal when you're in the ascendancy or something extraordinary is going to go against you."
Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has an almost fully-fit squad to draw on for their crucial clash at Craven Cottage. Striker Jari Litmanen has recovered from a head injury he sustained in training but is short of match fitness.
Birmingham will give late fitness tests to Stephen Kelly (knee) and Mehdi Nafti (thigh) before finalising the team for the crucial relegation six-pointer. Club captain Damien Johnson is available to return in midfield after completing the three-match suspension.
Fulham (from): Niemi, Keller, Warner, Stalteri, Bocanegra, Hughes, Hangeland, Konchesky, Davies, Andreasen, Healy, Murphy, Bullard, McBride, Kamara, Johnson, Bouazza, Dempsey, Volz, Kamara, Nevland.
Birmingham (from): Taylor, Kelly, Ridgewell, Jaidi, Murphy, Larsson, Muamba, Nafti, Johnson, Kapo, Forssell, McFadden, O'Connor, Zarate, Jerome, Queudrue, McSheffrey, Doyle. I give much more chances to Fulham to take this,especcialy after their very strange for me overcome after 0-2 at HT to a crucial 3-2 win away last week
