Fulham boss Roy Hodgson insists he will take the FA Cup seriously.
The Cottagers face Swindon today.
"It's a big tournament in our calendar. We will take it very seriously. What is at stake is the prestige of going forward. I can't imagine there are too many managers of any team, be they Manchester United, Chelsea or anyone, who wouldn't like a cup run," said Hodgson.
"But, if it was a Cup run to the semi-finals or a place in the top six, I'd choose a place in the top six."
