Fulham manager Scott Parker hopes his side can end their season on a positive note.

The Cottagers are heading back to the Championship after a spirited but ultimately unsuccessful single season back in the Premier League.

They take on Manchester United and Newcastle United in their last two games, and Parker wants them to end the season on a high note.

Parker said: "I think, for me, the most important thing is finishing this season and focusing on that really.

"What's to be next year is a few months away. What's vitally important for me and for the players, I need the players to understand that you're in the biggest league and the best league and the spotlight's constantly on them. We need to finish this season the right way, really.

"So we've got a very tough game tomorrow against the second best team in this division. It's already a difficult game for us, of course it is, so that's the main focus from me certainly at this point.

"[It has been] a big disappointment of course this year, we want to stay in this league, but there's still a job to do.

"That's be professional and put some pride in our performance and I need to make sure that the squad understand that as well. That's the big challenge for me - and I don't really want to look past that."
