Chambers switch impresses Ranieri
Loanee Calum Chambers has won praise from new Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri for making a successful switch into a role in midfield.
The Arsenal man has spent most of his career to date playing in defence, but Cottagers first-team coach Scott Parker has helped Chambers adapt to a more pivotal role, with the England international impressing in the 2-0 derby loss at Chelsea at the weekend.
Every single match for us is very, very important. For us, every match is a cup final.
Claudio Ranieri
Ahead of a Wednesday visit from his former club, Leicester City, Ranieri told reporters: "I spoke with Scott Parker and he told me he could play there.
"I believe he is a very good midfielder, he's intelligent tactically, which is good for the team, and it's good for me to have this kind of player.
"He linked the defensive line and the forwards very well. He has good movement and he's very attentive."
Meanwhile, Ranieri has vowed to stay focused on the job in hand and not get swept up in the emotion of pitting his wits against the Foxes, who he famously led to the Premier League title in 2016.
The Italian added: "It will be a very strange moment, a very emotional moment, but it's okay, that's football. It will be a good moment, sure, but we have to win.
"Every single match for us is very, very important. For us, every match is a cup final."
Fulham, who prop up the table heading into the midweek action, are 5/2 to earn a draw against Leicester and are 11/1 to secure a 2-1 victory, with the Cottagers 11/10 not to be relegated come the end of the season.
