Fulham prepare to entertain Portsmouth at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 9 of the 22 previous games, with the Cottagers winning just 5.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in November 2003, with Fulham running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Premiership match.
