Analysis:

Fulham enters this match knowing that their last two wins will count for nothing if they do not get a result here against Portsmouth. The Cottagers are hoping that they will get their first three successive wins in a row when they travel to Fratton Park to face FA Cup finalist Portsmouth for the last day of the Premiership.

Should Fulham get a win here then it will be good enough to guarantee them Premiership football next season regardless of other results elsewhere. Roy Hodgson side have a fully fit squad and even though Jari Litmanen played for the reserves in midweek, but he is unlikely to feature as he is lacking match practice.

Erik Nevland who scored against Birmingham last week is hoping to start this match. But Hodgson could resist the temptation and stick with the side that beat Birmingham last week at Craven Cottage.

Harry Redknapp despite having the distraction of the FA Cup to come, will want his side to bounce back from three consecutive losses before they take on Cardiff in the FA Cup Final at Wembley next week. Redknapp has promised to field his strongest lineup in the wake of the other teams also battling against relegation here.

David James will hope to feature in goal after recovering from the calf injury and come in for Jamie Ashdown who deputise in the absence of David James for the past two games. The home side could also be boosted with the return of Sulley Muntari and John Utaka from injuries after missing last weekend's defeat at Middlesbrough.

However, Pedro Mendes and Noe Pamarot are still out and will not likely feature in the FA Cup Final as well. Jermain Defoe is likely to lead the attack as Nwanku Kanu looks set to be rested with the clash against Cardiff in mind.

Take Portsmouth and accept the 1/2 ball here for the home team not to lose this match.

Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
