Team news, from sportinglife.com Carlos, fresh off his "defender of the month" accolades for the Cottagers, is highly tipped to start, while Brian may very well be consigned to a spot on the bench. Hope I'm wrong about Macca, though... No TV on this one in the USA (from what I've been able to gather)-- but Fulham's official website will have a live audio webcast, complete with the usual PbP stylings of the laid-back Gentleman Jim (note my understatement there). Kickoff's at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET, and 2 a.m. Melbourne time for me. Might have to make this a really early wake-up call for me, before I leave on business for a few days in Bendigo.
