With a three-week international break around the corner, Carrick could do with a win at Craven Cottage to lift the mood, but another defeat could also increase the scrutiny around his position.

Fulham earned their first point of the season under Alvaro Arbeloa at Anfield last weekend and then knocked West Ham out of the Carabao Cup in midweek. But the Cottagers come into this afternoon’s fixture bottom of the table and with Arbeloa also desperate for a win to change the narrative ahead of the international window.
