Fulham midfielder, Harrison Reed, has said the club will do everything to play themselves out of the relegation zone.
The Cottagers had a very poor start to the season, but have been purring in recent weeks.
Now they are hoping to avoid finishing in the bottom three, as they come off a remarkable win against Liverpool at Anfield last weekend.
“From the first whistle at Anfield we were on the front foot, we were controlling the tempo of the game,” Reed told Sky Sports.

“I felt we fully deserved the lead we went into half-time with but of course they’re Premier League champions and the game can change a lot and we had to suffer a lot in the second half without the ball and dig in. Then we showed a different side to us from the first half, so that was really pleasing.
“It’s a great feeling. You look at the league table and, yeah, we’re down the bottom and we’re fighting for our lives, of course. But when you watch us play we don’t look like a team down there – and we certainly don’t feel like a team that’s down there in the way the game pans out.”
“The first thing I noticed when I came in on loan at the start of last season was the amount of detail that Parker, Wellsy [coach, Matt Wells], and Stuart Gray [assistant manager], all go into,” added Reed.
“They leave no stone unturned.
“Preparation for the game usually happens with a two, three-day build-up. Then, throughout the game, in and out of possession, we understand everything the opposition can throw at us and the way we can counteract that and hurt teams. We go into the game full of confidence because of that – and it’s showing now with the results against top teams.
“If you see our day-to-day training, the amount of detail and focus we have in there is very, very high. It’s incredible really, working with this manager.
“My knowledge of the game now, from working under him day in, day out has grown massively. I think you can see it on the pitch. The players are comfortable in any formation we play and any set-up we can change in the game and the transition is pretty fluid. That’s a real positive and a real strength of our team.”
