In their Manager's words...
In his pre-match press conference, Fulham manager Álvaro Arbeloa believes that recent results won't have any bearing on this one-off cup tie.
The Eagles are without a win in the last four games in all competitions. By contrast Fulham have their last two Premier League games, after not winning any of their first six.
However, Arbeloa is wary of underestimating a side that have won on their last four visits to Craven Cottage in all competitions.
"You know what, when you are not in your best moment, every game is an opportunity. I think they will come here thinking about a good opportunity to win a game, to win a cup game, to be in the next round,” Arbeloa said.
“For them, it’s a good opportunity, and of course they will come with desire, with the same desire like us, but we are thinking about ourselves and what we have to do against a very good team that obviously has very good players.
“We will see tomorrow, but it's another London derby, and maybe a revenge for us because we want to win the game that we lost some weeks ago.
"We are thinking that tomorrow is going to be difficult.”
