Fulham boss Roy Hodgson says qualifying for the Europa League would be a bonus from this season.
After their 0-0 draw with Middlesbrough, Hodgson said: "I have said many times UEFA (Cup) has never been an actual target for us.
"But of course, if we continue to play well, maybe things will fall into place and maybe we will get a European spot.
"If we do, we will be very grateful and we will do our best to represent England in the right way."
