Player insight
Marek Rodák is expecting Peterborough to turn up and give it everything they’ve got at Craven Cottage.
The Posh are scrapping for their lives in the Championship, while their players will also be looking to impress a new manager.
“Not even just for a new manager, they’re also fighting to avoid relegation,” our number one told fulhamfc.com
“They want to stay up, and I think everyone in this league wants to show what they can do when they play the top team, prove that they can beat them, show that they can improve, so they will be trying their hardest.”
Marek's Peterborough Preview
Marek Rodák wants Fulham to move on from the disappointment of Huddersfield with a result and performance against the Posh.

Pre-match quotes
"Of course we respect and analyse Peterborough’s games, but we look at ourselves, what we are able to do, what we must do to win the football match, and all our focus is around that."
Marco Silva
Fulham Head Coach
"My job is to prepare the team for the game at Fulham to the best of my ability and I will do that with help from Simon Davies and the remaining staff. It is a tough game, there is no doubt about that, but the shape of the team against Fulham in the earlier match between the two sides was good."
Matthew Etherington
Peterborough Assistant Manager
