Fulham boss Scott Parker admits defeat to Leeds on Friday is a heavy blow to their survival prospects.
Fulham will now be keen spectators of that clash between Brighton and Newcastle before preparing for a critical eight-game stretch after the international break that sees them take on Aston Villa, Wolves, Arsenal, Chelsea, Burnley, Southampton and Manchester United.
The Cottagers end the season with a home meeting against Newcastle on May 23.
“We've got eight games now, eight finals," Parker said.
"Teams around us, we've put ourselves in a great position - of course we have.
"Very disappointed with tonight but as always, like most times this year, this is a little blip.
"We regroup and we come back fighting like we have done for the majority of this year."
