The Brentford & Fulham managers T. Frank and S. Parker are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Championship league table.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Fulham is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
