We look back at the defeat at the hands of Leicester City, as an 8 point gap opened up between Fulham and 17th place. It all means survival is looking like a thinner and thinner possibility, especially with Fulham creating so few chances.

We then turn our attention to the deadline day activity as Josh Maja arrived in SW6 and three players headed out on loan. Was it shrewd business? Or was it a late panic purchase by the Fulham hierarchy?

Finally, we look at the challenge an in-form West Ham will pose at the Cottage on Saturday, with three points desperately needed if Parker's men are to stay in the fight.
