12:15 - Sergio Aguero has labelled Fulham as inferior! He was talking more about history of the two clubs, but the comment is being slightly out of context by the British media. Will he live up to his billing as one of the finest players in the world tonight?

9:30 - If he were to miss this game, it would make for a bad couple of days for Zamora, who was left out of Fabio Capello's 30-man provisional England squad yesterday after being hotly tipped for a place. What do you mean you missed it? Go HERE to catch up!

9:00 - Bad news Fulham fans. Bobby Zamora has missed the final training session ahead of the match with his achilles problem still hampering him. See for yourself HERE
