Ranieri looking forward to Fulham clash

The former Chelsea boss insists he is always happy to come back to London.

“I know the Fulham fans will consider this something of a derby, as they see me as a former Chelsea man, but I am always happy to come back to London,” said Ranieri.

“I hope to see a great Roma quite aside from my personal rapport with England. Fulham are set to be combative, even without their captain Murphy.

“I saw several of their matches and they play good football, always keeping tight. It’s sure to be a very tactical game.”
