Craven Cottage: Home of Fulham(credit:

Fulham midfielder Steve Sidwell could return to the squad for Sunday’s visit of Blackpool. (kick-off 13.30 GMT)
Sidwell has been sidelined for the past month with an ankle problem but he is hopeful of being fit to face the visiting Seasiders.
Cottagers boss Mark Hughes is waiting on the fitness of Aaron Hughes (shoulder) and Bobby Zamora (illness), with Philippe Senderos (Achilles) their only definite absentee.
Blackpool, meanwhile, are boosted by the return to training of goalkeepers Matt Gilks and Paul Rachubka, but Richard Kingson is expected to get the nod as both men build match fitness.
DJ Campbell sits out the final match of his three-game suspension, meaning he joins David Carney (shoulder) on the sidelines.
