Premier League : Swansea - Fulham Fulham's visit to Swansea on Sunday is of little consequence in the Premier League, but Martin Jol's men will want to avoid another defeat.
Jol's men can - mathematically - finish in the top 10, albeit requiring multiple results to fall their way.
And the one result that hasn't gone Fulham's way of late is their own - they haven't won in seven matches, losing six of them.
It seems once the west Londoners hit 40 points - they did so with a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa - they took their foot off the gas, as they fell to Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Reading and Liverpool.
While four of those five are top-seven clu

Lewandowski coy on next move Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski says his future will be revealed at the end of the season.

Xavi slams Mourinho treatment of Casillas Barcelona midfielder Xavi has accused Real Madrid manager of treating his international team-mate Iker Casillas as "deadwood".
Casillas has not figured for Real since January when he fractured his hand in a game against Valencia, making just 29 appearances in all competitions this season and playing second fiddle to former Villarreal and Sevilla keeper Diego Lopez.
33-year-old Xavi has won two UEFA European Championships and a FIFA World Cup under the captaincy of Casillas in the Spain national team, and was eager to criticise Mourinho's decision to drop the stopper from his side.
"In September, they were touting him for the Ballon d'Or. Now it's like he's dead wood," Xavi said.

Premier League: Chelsea - Everton Rafael Benitez and David Moyes bid farewell to their respective clubs on Sunday and will look to end their tenures on a high.
Chelsea are looking for a victory at Stamford Bridge to avoid the prospect of a play-off with Arsenal for third place in the Premier League.
Benitez's side know three points will guarantee them third place but if they draw 0-0 and Arsenal beat Newcastle United by more than one goal, Arsene Wenger's men would overhaul them.
If Chelsea were to draw 0-0 and Arsenal win 2-1 the two teams will be level on points, goal difference and goals scored which would mean a third-place play-off match for the first time in Premier League history.

Bundesliga : Dortmund - Hoffenheim Hoffenheim will travel to the Westfalenstadion on Saturday looking to preserve their Bundesliga status.
A win for Markus Gisdol's men, coupled with favourable results elsewhere, could see second-bottom Hoffenheim finish in either the relegation play-off spot, or completely out of the relegation places.
However, Hoffenheim are in poor form, having won just twice in six games, and come into the match with off the back of a 4-1 defeat against Hamburg.
They also face a Dortmund side who are guaranteed second place in this year's Bundesliga and are unbeaten in eight league matches.
