Fulham boss Roy Hodgson insists he's only thinking about reaching the 40 points barrier.

Ninth place is just six points away from the bottom three in this season's clustered league table and Hodgson is wary Fulham could slip into the drop zone again.

He told the Evening Standard: "We're a long way from the 40 points that we're targeting.

"It's important that we don't, for one minute, start to believe it's going to be easier than it's going to be."
