Reading make their final change with Kalifa Cisse replacing Marek Matejovsky.
77
It's that man again Healy, this time he turns and shoots from outside the area but this effort fails to test Hahnemann in the Reading goal.
76
Healy has been a constant threat today, but this time Bikey gets the better of the striker as the attack breaks down.
74
Bullard strikes the crossbar from a well struck free kick, that's the third time they have hit the bar so far - how unlucky can one team be?
72
Roy Hodgson will be hoping his side don't live to regret missing these chances and will want a second goal to make sure of the points.
71
The away side come close to doubling their lead again, this time Brede Hangeland's header strikes the cross bar - they should be at least 2-0 up with the chances they have had.

Rosenior gives the ball away to Dempsey before recovering well and winning the ball back for his team.
56
The Reading fans are getting frustrated now, as Long gives the ball away too easily meaning they fail to produce a meaningful attack.
54
The Healy - McBride combination is certainly causing Reading problems today, it's such a shame for them that McBride has been out the majority of the season.
53
That was a great move by the away side, a goal there would have surely help secure their first away win of the season.
52
McBride almost makes it 2-0 with a great effort, after a chipped pass from Healy, volleys the ball onto the crossbar - what a strike, very unlucky there.
50

39
If they are to get anything from this game they need to start to test Keller in the Fulham goal. He's had nothing to do so far.
39

20
Fulham have only won twice under Hodsgon in 13 games, he really hasn't had the desired impact to their season.
18
McBride's chance is the only really clear cut one of the game so far, with neither side garbbing the game by the scruff of the neck.
17
McBride has the best chance of the game so far as the ball lands at his feet before he drills a shot towards goal only for Ivar Ingimarsson to produce a crucial block.

One thing that is in Fulham's favour today is the pairing of Healy and Brian McBride in attack, they have hardly played together all season.
4
Paul Konchesky does well to find David Healy in the box who twists and turns but fails to get a shot away.
3
It's a quiet start to the game, in the pouring rain.
2
This really is a must win for Fulham, but considering they have gone 33 away games without a victory, it could be a difficult afternoon for Roy Hodgson's men.
