Arbeloa: It's not about me as winless Fulham face Hull

Fulham are still waiting for a first Premier League win. Head coach Alvaro Arbeloa says the story should not be about him.

The London club sit bottom of England's top flight with two points. They host Hull City at Craven Cottage at 15:00 BST on Saturday, chasing that elusive first victory of the season, according to BBC.

"It is not about my future," Arbeloa said ahead of the game. "It is not about me, it is about the club, the players and the supporters."

He added it had "been a normal week" despite reports that another defeat could cost him his job. That talk remains rumour, not a decision announced by the club.

Fulham's start reads four defeats and two draws from six league games. The results sting because wins were close.

They led Ipswich Town 1-0 through Ryan Sessegnon's second-half strike, only to lose to two late goals. They were also denied victory against Manchester United by a last-gasp deflected effort from Matheus Cunha.

Arbeloa joined Fulham in the summer on a three-year contract to replace Marco Silva. He had previously served as Real Madrid's interim head coach.

There has been some relief elsewhere. Fulham have reached the last 16 of the Carabao Cup, England's knockout cup competition for league clubs, where they will face Crystal Palace at home.

For fans, this means Saturday is simple. A first league win would lift Fulham off the bottom and change the noise around the new manager in one afternoon.
