Fulham boss Martin Jol has relegation concerns after defeat to Reading.
Fulham are now just five points clear of Wigan and the Premier League relegation zone and Roberto Martinez's men have a game in hand in the fight for survival.
Jol told the Fulham Chronicle: "We had 40 points at a very early stage, so that was remarkable.
"After that the pressure was a bit off us and now you see all these teams like Aston Villa and, before Monday, Sunderland with Paolo di Canio picking up points."
