Preamble
We’re four league games in and I’m getting spammy emails about how Michael Carrick is 5/2 to get sacked before Christmas. It’s all a bit silly but a reminder of how intense his position is, the game changing now he doesn’t have that interim tag. So how does a visit to Craven Cottage sound? On the one hand, Fulham are bottom of the league, with Alvaro Arbeloa feeling some heat, too. On the other, slip up here and my inbox will probably get a whole lot louder. Let’s get stuck into it: kick-off’s at 4.30pm BST.
