Head to Head

Fulham completed the 'double' over fellow promoted Blackburn when they last in the Nationwide League - Division One, winning the trip to Ewood Park 1-2. Blackburn are chasing their third win in four home League meetings with Fulham. The Cottagers are hoping for a fourth win a row against Rovers, and are unbeaten in four home and away League meetings (3 wins, 1 draw), having scored twice on each occasion. The Londoners' last top flight victory at Ewood Park was 39 years ago. They finished 0-1 in the old League - Division One on 16 March, 1963. Fulham are on course for a second successive 'double' over Graeme Souness' side and only their third over Blackburn since League hostilities began in 1936.

Disciplinary

Matchday Referee: CHRIS FOY from St Helens, Merseyside Chris Foy is a bit of a mystery having only officiated at 4 Premiership games this season. Could it be that someone else has gone on holiday early and Ref Foy has been asked to fill in? In his 4 games Mr Foy has exhibited a strong dislike for away teams with 70% of his 17 yellows going to visiting players and his only Premiership red card of the season going to Ugo Ehiogu on his visit to West Ham. The last time Mr Foy officiated at a Fulham game was when we played away at Wimbledon on the 11th November 2000. We won 3-0 and he booked 3 HOME players and one of ours. From the stats he likes to blow his whistle and dish out yellows more than average which should upset Mr Soueey as he usually likes his players to be a slightly physical. Mr. Foy's score sheet Average Premiership Referee score sheet Total Match Avg Total Match Avg Games 4 15 Fouls 152 38.00 458 30.00 Penalties 1 0.25 3 0.19 Yellow cards 17 4.00 48 3.12 Red Cards 1 0.25 3 0.19
