Kasey Keller calls for a fight to the finish

Fulham goalkeeper Kasey Keller today warned his team-mates against playing part-time football when they take on relegation rivals Sunderland at Craven Cottage tomorrow.

Ominously, Sunderland have scored seven goals in the final five minutes of Premier League games this season. The ability of Roy Keane's side to compete right to the final whistle has been worth 11 points, one third of their total.

By contrast, Fulham have conceded eight goals from the 85th minute onwards, costing them 13 precious points. Keller said: "It all started in the first game against Arsenal and seems to have been a theme for us all year.

"If our games had finished at 80 minutes we'd be something like eighth in the table. Now we have to put things right. Our destiny is in our own hands and we have to beat Sunderland if we're going to have a shot at survival."

Fulham go into the game six points adrift of the safety zone. Boss Roy Hodgson admitted: "We are fully aware we need a performance against a good Sunderland team."
