No favours for Murphy

The former Red, now with Fulham, said earlier in the week he hoped Rafael Benitez would rest the likes of Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres for tomorrow's game at Craven Cottage. However, Peter Crouch has warned Murphy that no matter what team Benitez selects, they will be going all out to beat the Cottagers and wrap up fourth place.

"I know Stevie and Carra are in contact with Danny a lot and I'm sure they will be speaking to him before the game. Fulham are desperate to stay in the league but I can assure you neither Stevie or Carra will be taking their foot off the gas," said the striker.

"The manager hasn't talked about the Chelsea game with us this week and we are fully focused on Fulham. It will be a tough game away from home against a team that really needs the three points but we will be focused.

"Fulham is very a very important game for us. They are scrapping for every point to guarantee their survival but we we want the win as well.
"Fourth place is still not cemented and we need to make sure we get the three points and get the confidence to take into Tuesday's massive Champions League game.

"We are in good form so hopefully we can continue that on Saturday."
