Fulham will hope to pull clear of relegation danger in a six-pointer against Blackpool at Craven Cottage on Sunday.\n<\/p>\n

While Fulham fans look set to use the game to protest controversial plans to erect a statue of Michael Jackson outside Craven Cottage, manager Mark Hughes will be more concerned that his side sit just three points off the drop zone.<\/p>\n

Ian Holloway will bring his Blackpool side to London hoping to correct a dip in form that has seen the Seasiders pick up just one win in their last 10 league encounters.<\/p>\n

The two teams shared the points earlier in the season with an action-packed 2-2 draw at Bloomfield Road, with Dickson Etuhu salvaging a draw for Fulham three minutes from time.<\/p>\n

Team news<\/h4>\n

Steve Sidwell will be hoping to hand Fulham a timely boost by returning from a knee injury that has seen the midfielder miss the last three games.<\/p>\n

DJ Campbell is still suspended for Blackpool following his flare-up at Wolves and will serve the final game of his three-match ban on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Blackpool stopper Richard Kingson makes a return following his midweek heroics against England at Wembley, with Paul Rachubka and Matt Gilks still sidelined.<\/p>\n

Holloway was handed a boost on Wednesday with the news that Billy Clarke made a successful return to action with the reserve team following a lengthy absence after rupturing a cruciate ligament in pre season.<\/p>\n

Possible starting XIs:<\/h5>\n

Fulham:<\/b> Schwarzer, Kelly, Hangeland, Baird, Salcido, Murphy, Dempsey, Sidwell, Duff, Johnson, Dembele.<\/p>\n

Blackpool:<\/b> Kingson, Crainey, Baptiste, Evatt, Eardley, Puncheon, Adam, Vaughan, Reid, Carney, Beattie.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
