Fulham currently sit second in their Europa League group but it is finely balanced and Fulham need a home win here to open up a gap between themselves and Wisla Krakow after Wisla Krakow pulled off a surprise 1-0 win over Fulham in Poland in their last match in this competition. The need for a win will force Martin Jol into fielding a strong side just days before his former side Spurs visit Craven Cottage in the Premiership.
Moussa Dembele can play no part in this match, the Belgian forward is suspended having been sent off against Wisla Krakow in the first game between these sides. Fulham will also be without Orlando Sa who is out injured. Sa joins Aaron Hughes and Philippe Senderos on the sidelines, the defensive duo both have thigh injuries. Simon Davies is also a long term injury victim but the likes of Bobby Zamora, Danny Murphy and Clint Dempsey are amongst those expected to play.
Fulham were a little unlucky with refereeing decisions in Poland but should have a much better chance against Wisla Krakow back at Craven Cottage with eleven men hopefully for the entire match. Fulham have been an inconsistent side this season but at home they should have far too much for Krakow and are confidently expected to win this match.
