Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha sees today's game as a must-win against Bournemouth.

Palhinha insists their performances have deserved better in recent weeks.

“I think the results was not what we wished," he said. “I think we have been playing well.

“We are controlling most parts of the game that we have played but unfortunately the results haven't appeared, but I think it will change.

“The team is playing better, playing good football. The only thing missing is scoring goals, but we are ready to go again this weekend against Bournemouth and hopefully with a victory which is really important for us."

On Bournemouth, Palhinha told Fulham's website: “We know that they are a nice team who play really nice football.

“We need to go with everything that we have.

“We play at home which is always special for us, for me and my teammates and for the fans, and hopefully with their support, we can get a victory and that's the only thing I'm focused on."
