Scott Parker will 'keep banging that drum' to make Fulham players believe they can STILL avoid relegation despite sitting points adrift of safety ahead of their bid to win at Chelsea for the first time since 1979

Fulham boss Scott Parker insists he will 'keep banging that drum' in a bid to instil belief in his players that they can avoid relegation.

The Cottagers face an uphill battle to avoid the drop, sitting seven points adrift of safety having conceded in the final moments of their last two matches.

Parker's men were dealt a cruel blow at the Emirates in their last outing, having been on the verge of their first-ever away win over Arsenal until the Gunners scored a last-gasp equaliser.
