Two clubs in the bottom half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Fulham and Crystal Palace. 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.
Though Fulham's future in the Premier League is no longer secure, the coaching future of Felix Magath with the the club is. Fulham confirmed on Tuesday the German would be spearing the relegated side in the Championship next season, something Magath never doubted (h/t to Sky Sports). "I was appointed by Mr. Shahid Khan realising that there was a distinct possibility that we would not survive. I was not only brought in until the end of the season with the primary target of keeping Fulham in the Premier League, but to build a team that can compete in the top flight," he said.
"My commitment and desire to Fulham remains. During the summer months there most certainly will be many changes within the club. We obviously need to improve and redefine our playing staff, and we have in our academy team some talented, young and hungry players," he added.
"I have experienced on many occasions, through working and developing youth team players, that they have the possibility to become top professionals."
"I am looking forward to the task ahead and to a successful future for all of us."
Will that future include a victory in their final Premier League match before relegation? Tell us @SportsWN
