Pulis expects tough Fulham test
The pressure is building on Cottagers boss Mark Hughes after his side's dismal Boxing Day defeat to West Ham, but Pulis expects a tough test on Tuesday. He said: "We had a good result against Fulham in the League Cup but that will mean nothing because this is a totally different game and they are fighting for league points. "They will come and give us a real run for their money. They are, along with Everton, the team that has under-achieved most in the first half of the season. "They will be looking for a stronger second half of the season and looking at the players they have, it would not be a surprise to see that happen. "Every game in the Premier League is a tight game, especially for the likes of us, and we will respect Fulham just like we respect every team."
