Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney has revealed that he has his sights set firmly on Fulham gaining automatic promotion come the end of the season.

The Cottagers are fourth in the table and are five points off of second-placed Leeds United heading into the final 12 games of the season.

Fulham last earned promotion in 2018 when they faced Aston Villa at Wembley in the play-off final with a sole strike from Cairney being enough to win the tie.

The goal from the Fulham skipper sent the club back to the top flight for the first time in four years however they only remained in the Premier League for one season.

Speaking to the Sky Sports EFL podcast, Cairney said: "It's strange, as weird as that sounds.

"It was the best day of my career and I think the day will never be beaten, as a whole.

"But you're trying your best to not get into that situation again. To be honest, I don't want to go back there and have a chance of ruining the memories! Hopefully we can try and catch the top two."

Scott Parker's side have a tough run of fixtures coming up as they host Swansea City tonight before facing Preston at Craven Cottage on Saturday. They then travel to Bristol City and Leeds with a home clash against Brentford in between.

There are only four points between the Cottagers and seventh-placed Bristol City as they try to hang onto their spot in the top six.

The Verdict

Cairney has a winning mentality just like his manager and the rest of the Fulham squad.

They will fancy themselves heading into the run-in as they face the teams in and around them as the Cottagers look to break into the top two before the end of the season.

There is still a lot of points to play for with Fulham certainly being a team to watch between now and the end of the season.
