Two clubs in the bottom half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Fulham and Hull City. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Craven Cottage in London and can be live streamed here free.
The pressures of staving off relegation haven't truly affected Felix Magath. In fact, the Fulham boss believes the pressure belongs to the clubs he's chasing, Norwich City and Cardiff City (h/t to Sky Sports). "In my opinion, I think the atmosphere at Norwich or Sunderland or Cardiff will be more nervous than here," said Magath, appointed in mid-February as the club's third manager of the season.
"We are under pressure, but not so as under pressure as these clubs from the small towns where the whole town is behind the club," he added.
"For Sunderland, it will be a much more interesting thing, the football club [for the town] than Fulham is here in London."
"I am convinced we will stay up if we win our home games, but we have another game next week away at Stoke and there is always a chance to win three points."
"We will not only try to win at our home games, we try to win every game."
Will Fulham be able to climb out of the cellar and closer to safety with a win over Hull City? Tell us @SportsWN
