Fulham have won their last three league games at Craven Cottage without conceding a goal and manager Kit Symons is keen to experience more home comforts against Blackpool.

He told the club's official website: "Good results at home give you a platform to build on and I remember when I was a player, we fancied ourselves against anyone at Craven Cottage.

"That's the kind of atmosphere I want to create here again, it's early days but we are getting there.

"We want to carry that on on Wednesday, it what will be a very tough game, and we will have to be on top form to do so."

New Blackpool boss Lee Clark hopes his first signing will add some much-needed pace to the Tangerines team.

Jacob Murphy joined on a three-month loan deal from Norwich on Monday and the 19-year-old goes straight into the squad for the trip to London.

"Jacob's very versatile and he's got an abundance of pace and great attacking ability," said Clark, whose first game in charge on Saturday ended in a 2-0 home defeat to Ipswich.

"We think he can give us that injection of pace, certainly in the wide areas, that we feel we're just a bit lacking at the moment."
