Scott Parker’s Sheffield Wednesday worry as Owls go up against familiar face
and live on Freeview channel 276
No team in the Championship has scored more away goals this season than the Owls (36), and only four teams have won more away games (8), and Parker will be aware of the fact that his side haven’t beaten Wednesday at Craven Cottage since 2014.
For Fulham, Aboubakar Kamara, Tom Cairney and Ivan Cavaleiro are all doubtful for the game, but Aleksandar Mitrovic is back having returned from his three-game ban for the 2-0 win over Cardiff City and 0-0 draw against West Bromwich Albion.

“We’ve got a tough game at the weekend against a very good Sheffield Wednesday team, and we need to keep moving really, and keep the momentum with us…
“It will be a tough challenge. Solid team, a team with some experience, and a good side.
“The freedom of nothing to play, the real off-the-cuff, and there’s nothing for them in that sense. And that freedom of play can obviously be a massive positive that could cause us problems. That’s sometimes the way it goes, and there’s a flip side of that as well obviously.

Former Owl, Michael Hector, missed the 1-1 draw with Wednesday back in September, but is expected to start against his former teammates tomorrow afternoon.
The referee is Darren England, who will be refereeing both teams for the first time this season.
