In Ralph we trust.
Rest him for the Bin Dippers game?
Salisu and Diallo looking likely to start.
One of Scott Parkerās family has covid, so he will miss game.
Stuart Grey in charge
Strange they didnāt go with Stuart Gray.
Maybe they learnt from the error of Rupertās way
Hopefully it will be Mr Gray & he can administer some 50 shades of pain to their fans
When nwe beat them it would be better to see Scott there but hey ho.
Lawro reckons weāre going to loseā¦
Fulham v Southampton (15:00 GMT)
Southampton could be without a few key players - Oriol Romeu is definitely missing through suspension and Danny Ings, Jannik Vestergaard and Nathan Redmond are all injury doubts. Collectively, their absence would make a big difference.
Iām going to go with Fulham here, even with manager Scott Parker missing from the dugout.After a poor start to the season they have been improving in recent weeks, with three successive draws.
The Cottagers have become much more difficult to beat, now they need to turn those draws into wins.
Lawroās prediction: 2-1
Rickās prediction: I quite like Fulham and have been to a few games at Craven Cottage - a friend of mine, Richard Drummie from Go West, has got season tickets there and phones me up sometimes when his son doesnāt want to go - but unfortunately for them I think Southampton are going to win this one. 0-2
Fulham havenāt won at home on Boxing Day for 17 years. The last team they beat? Saints.

*sorry I know itās a day late but slowlane put too much pressure on me.

Free hit for me today. Bro-in-laws coming round for Boys Day
They are bringing that fvcking Cherry Vodka.

Oh.
Armstrong also a ādoubtā āis being monitoredā ac wording to BBC preview
I hope they have the @PhilippineSaint feed and not the Sky via Virgin Media oneā¦Itāll be a bit embarrassing to have everyone else telling them whatās going on.
Theyāll have the least juddery stream
No worries. Iām honoured.
