Dempsey doubtful for United clash

Clint Dempsey is a doubt for Fulham’s Barclays Premier League clash with title favourites Manchester United.

The on-form American winger has had a bout of food poisoning but will be given until the last minute to declare his availability.

Other than that Fulham are relatively untroubled by injury, with only centre-half Aaron Hughes ruled out with a rib problem.

Provisional squad: Schwarzer, Pantsil, Stoor, Hangeland, Konchesky, Baird, Davies, Etuhu, Dacourt, Murphy, Gera, Dempsey, Johnson, Zamora, Zuberbuhler, Kallio, Nevland, Kamara, Gray, Barnes.
