Once again we will have the opportunity to observe Berbatov`s great style of play. Undoubtedly, he is the hearth of the team and it is not a secret that everything more complicated and sophisticated in the game of Fulham is created by Dimitar Berbatov. With the return of Hangeland, Berbatov might be more focused on the attack of the team rather than playing as a number 10 would.
After Harry Redknapp took QPR the team became slightly more stable as in the last three games they are unbeaten (three draws). The hosts still firmly occupy the last place in the standings and even one point in this match is important for them. Fulham from the other hand, managed to take the three points against Newcastle last weekend, after five concequitive matches without a win. Fulham have already played against the top teams in the league and could very well manage to win a lot of points in their next 6 games. Led by Dimitar Berbatov, good standings in the Premier League seems quite achievable for Fulham.
For the guests injured are Brian Ruiz and Simon Davies, while for QPR with injuries are Bobby Zamora, Julio Cesar and Andrew Johnson. The lack of Ruiz is a great loss for Fulham, because he has a great contribution to the team's strong attack. QPR haven`t got a single win in their last 17 league games and will undoubtedly seek the first victory since quite a long time now. Fulham, on the other hand, have not managed to win in their last five away games. The defense of the team is performing effectively in the matches against QPR as in the last five games between these two teams, QPR players have not scored even one goal.
The Cottagers have a 100% success rate against QPR in the Premier League. This London derby will offer a lot of emotions and suspense to the fans.
