Fulham interim boss Scott Parker says he is a “realist” and has accepted the Premier League strugglers are unlikely to avoid relegation to the second tier this season.The former England midfielder, who hung up his boots while on Fulham’s books in June 2017, has stepped up from his first-team coaching role to take over the reins at Craven Cottage until the end of season following Claudio Ranieri’s sacking.

Parker is under no illusions as to how big the task in front of him is, which begins when the Blues come to town on Sunday.“We’re playing against a top class team, so it’s going to be difficult,” he said.“This is the type of game though that a lot of the lads have been working towards for so many years following a huge battle to get out of the Championship.“I want them to go out and express their quality and play with some freedom.“They need to embrace the occasion and give absolutely everything they have got in them – that’s the least the supporters deserve to see.”
