Reading’s Nicky Shorey expects West Brom to prove tricky opposition for Fulham when they meet at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
The 31-year-old defender had a loan spell at Fulham in 2009-10 after which he spent two seasons at West Brom before joining newly-promoted Reading this summer.
Shorey has told Martin Jol’s side to expect a battle against in-form and confident West Brom.
“It will be a really interesting game this weekend, especially with West Brom going so well,” he told Fulham’s official website.
“Craven Cottage is a very difficult place to go irrespective of recent form.
“It’s always tough at the Cottage and the fans get right behind Fulham.
“It’s a quirky little ground but West Brom will be going there full of confidence. It will be an intriguing contest on Saturday.”
Tottenham have missed their chance to sign Joao Moutinho after last summer’s primary transfer target agreed a five-year deal with Monaco.
