Roy Hodgson: Cup top priority for Fulham
Published 05:00 14/03/10 By Bill Mills
Roy Hodgson has hinted he may rotate his Fulham squad for today’s clash.
The Cottagers are in the middle of a crunch run of cup games as they face the second leg of their Europa League game with Juventus on Thursday, before their FA Cup replay with Tottenham next week.
Hodgson’s side are virtually safe in the league and he could give players such as Erik Nevland some valuable game time, while skipper Danny Murphy could return from injury and suspension.
Wolves were given a suspended £25,000 fine for fielding a weakened team at Old Trafford earlier this season, but Hodgson says today’s game not his top priority.
He said: “Is the game with United down my priority list? Yes, as there are glittering prizes on the back of the games with Juventus and Tottenham.
“It is strange to be saying that, as for Fulham the games against Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are the highlights of the year.”
