Fulham manager Hodgson says, "We live to play football so there was never any question of us not being up for it against West Ham," in the club's official website.

"For us the aim is to get that 10th place and if we beat Stoke we will be close to achieving that."

Zamora is struggling with an Achilles injury and faces a race against time to be fit for the Europa League final against Atletico Madrid next week.

Clint Dempsey will continue to deputies in attack for Fulham's last home match of the season.

"It was nice to play 90 minutes against West Ham and to win," said the Norwegian midfielder.

"A lot of the team haven't played much recently so to beat West Ham 3-2 is a very positive result.

"I enjoyed it a lot and hopefully I'll get to play a bit more in the last three games.

"Now it's important to beat Stoke to secure 10th place."

Stoke captain Abdoulaye Faye remains an injury doubt ahead of Wednesday's trip to Fulham in the Barclays Premier League.

Faye was absent for Saturday's goalless draw with Everton due to a thigh strain and could miss out again at Craven Cottage.
