Preview: Fulham vs. Stoke City

Fulham host Stoke City in the Premier League on Saturday in a game that could reportedly spell the end for Martin Jol's time in charge.

He will be up against the man whose place he took at the helm at Craven Cottage Mark Hughes with both sides struggling for points.

Fulham were beaten for the fourth time in five league games last weekend at home to Cardiff City, while Stoke lost to Norwich City at the Britannia Stadium.

The hosts will remain without Matthew Briggs and Maarten Stekelenburg, but Scott Parker could be available despite being taken off against Cardiff.

Matthew Etherington is unlikely to be risked following the car crash that kept him out of the Norwich game.
