Fulham prepare to entertain Portsmouth at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 11 of the 26 previous games, with the Cottagers winning just 6.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in October 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Premier League match.
