Grimsby are on the edge of the relegation zone needing at one point to ensure
that they remain in Nationwide Division One next season.
The Mariners rest in 19th spot in the division having won just 13 games out
of 45 games so far with 9 clean sheets all season underlining the fact that
their defence is amongst the leakest in the division having shipped 62 goals.
In terms of attack they have scored 42 goals, less than one a game.
Fulham are 1st in Division One having won 30 games out of 45 with 18 clean sheets
so far. Their attack is the most prolific in European top flight soccer and
the defence has only let in 31 goals just 6 more than Man Utd.
Grimsby's recent home form is rather mixed to say the least with their last
home game ending in a 4-1 thrashing by Blackburn

The Mighty Whites have not done well at Grimsby in the past having won only 8
times in the last 24 games with the last win at Blundell Park being in April '88.
Even in recent times the Mariners have been able to keep Fulham under controll.

Of course the current Fulham team is not like any other and if the Mighty Whites
play up to their usual standards Grimsby are in for a torrid Sunday afternoon
with the possibility of Fulham scoring goals for fun.
