Preamble
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Fulham against Ipswich at Craven Cottage. It should be a fun game between two teams that are excellently coached and full of confidence after a recent win over Chelsea.
Fulham have realistic aspirations of playing European football for the first time since 2011-12; A win today would put them ahead of Aston Villa in eighth place, just two points behind Manchester City in sixth place.
We all know Ipswich's goal: 17th place and one more season in the first division. Victory at Craven Cottage would lift them further above Wolves and Everton to 16th place.
There are no problems with the weather. The temperature in west London is around 11 degrees, so only the apocalypse can prevent the game from taking place as planned.
Kick off 2:00 p.m.
