Fulham could reach the Europa League again thanks to the Fair Play award.

Fulham started this season in JUNE after qualifying for Europe via the Fair Play table.

That has turned the current term into an endurance test - with Martin Jol's side facing their 42nd game of an already epic season against Stoke today.

But their good-guy reputation means they are once again one of the Premier League's best behaved teams.

Boss Jol said: "We are second in the Fair Play League again - whether you like it or not!

"There are three top teams but they will play in the Champions League. There is Swansea and us in contention up to now.

"So we might have another early start... whether I like it or not."
