DRISSA Diallo's impressive form at the heart of the Burnley defence will ensure that he will soon be a name well known in football circles - but he is someone Fulham already know a lot about.

His display alongside Ian Cox at the heart of the defence at Loftus Road was one of the key factors in Burnley forcing tonight's replay, and he was quick to grab French international Steve Marlet's shirt after the final whistle.

But with the striker expected to be missing tonight with the injury he suffered on Monday night at Spurs, it will again be Argentine striker Facundo Sava who will do battle with Diallo.

The pair clashed in the first game before Sava made way for Inamoto, having got little joy from the former Mechelen man.

He is one of the Fulham players who has no excuse for being tired tonight as he was withdrawn in the first half to allow the substitute keeper to come on.

The man was almost as unknown as Diallo when he arrived in England in the summer but quickly achieved notoriety as he whisked his Zorro style mask out of his sock to celebrate scoring.

Diallo will be hoping that he will be able to keep Sava quiet tonight so the mask stays firmly down by his shin-pad.
