PAUL HECKINGBOTTOM: WE HAVE TO BE POSITIVE

Head coach on Fulham.

Leeds United head coach Paul Heckingbottom spoke to the media ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Fulham.

The Whites travel to Craven Cottage, looking to inflict defeat on Fulham who are unbeaten since mid-December in the Sky Bet Championship.

Heckingbottom is looking forward to the test against the in-form side in the division and has urged his side to be positive.

“We will be selecting from the same group of players that we did against Bolton Wanderers, we are not expecting anybody else to be back,” said Heckingbottom.

“Fulham have shown how tough they are, but we have to go to Craven Cottage really positively and look to hurt them.

“They can be a tough team to play against and a demoralising team to play against with how they play, but they are not unbeatable.

“We have to be positive when we have the ball and work our socks off to stop them.

“Any team in the league who goes to Craven Cottage and gets a result would be delighted and we are no different.

“They are in a patch of form, which they have been in since the turn of the year, where they have been the best team in the division.

“It is going to be difficult, but it is something we are looking forward to and we can go there with the mindset, that it is going to be a real scalp if we can take it.

“We are playing against teams now who are all fighting for things for all different reasons and we can use that to our advantage and upset teams.”
