Cherriers boss ready for Cottagers

ournemouth manager Eddie Howe is relishing Saturday's pre-season friendly against Premier League outfit Fulham at Dean Court. The Cottagers thumped Brentford 5-0 in midweek and Howe is expecting them to give his side a similarly stern test.He told the club's official website: "They're a top side now and it will be a really good test for us. I think we're better prepared than we were last week."We have got a week's football under our belts now. So hopefully we'll be a little more competitive."It's the sort of test we need against a side who have really good players in every position. Like most Premier League sides, they have quality in numbers and they could field two sides."
