Fulham captain Danny Murphy feels he's in some of the best form of his career.

After victory over Tottenham, Murphy said: "I've got a lot of responsibility on my shoulders in terms of the captaincy and my role in the team.

"I'm probably fitter and stronger than I've been in a while because last season was my first full one after an indifferent time at Spurs.

"I think we've got a better squad now than we've had before. I just want to be part of a successful season and not go through the emotions of the last one.

"We've got a lot of players who are hungry and keen to succeed in this division.

"While we don't always play with the quality we want, that is the aim, and we hope that it is the right recipe to get results because we need to find that balance.

"We don't just want to be a pretty footballing side and not win games, we want to be both."
