Fulham v Brighton


Sky Bet Championship

Venue: Craven Cottage
Date: Monday 2nd January 2017
Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
Referee: Stuart Attwell
Assistants: Mick McDonough, Sian Massey
Fourth official: Lee Probert



Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic must decide whether to include Chris Martin in his squad with the on-loan forward's future at the club in doubt.

Martin pulled out of the side for the abandoned game at Reading and parent club Derby County want him to return.

Brighton will be without Sebastien Pocognoli as the Belgian defender recovers from a slight knock.

Kazenga LuaLua will serve the third game of his four-match ban while Beram Kayal and Liam Rosenior are out.

Happy New Year D.H. and thanks for the continued match day threads, very informative and a bit like comfy shoes, unappreciated until they're not there. Well done and please continue.

Tough one today, Fulham were easily the best team so far at the Amex this season so if they close us down early we may struggle to move the ball in our usual passing game.

This to me represents possibly the hardest fixture we have left to play.
Harder than Newcastle I think as we play them at home.
If we get any sort of result today I will really start to believe this will be the year

I thought kayal has been declared fit? Just needs a runout?

I'd take a point now. Fulham were impressive at ours.

Er, what did our injured Kazenga do?

"Kazenga LuaLua will serve the third game of his four-match ban while Beram Kayal and Liam Rosenior are out."

Got sent off in the Checkatrade trophy and then refused to leave the pitch, foul and abusive language at the officials etc. Got a total 6 game ban but 2 apply only to the checkatrade trophy.
