Roy Hodgson believes Fulham will start the decisive month of their season when they meet Tottenham in Saturday afternoon's FA Cup quarter-final at Craven Cottage.

The late kick-off is the first of five fixtures in 16 days, a run that includes a trip to Manchester United and their Europa League last-16 tie against Juventus over two legs.

By March 18 Fulham could have secured an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley and a place in the last eight of Europe.

Hodgson has urged his players to go out and write their name in the club's history books.

"This is a big month and it's amazing that the games come back to back," said Hodgson.

"First we have Tottenham, who are fourth in the Premier League, and having a great season in the quarter-final. Then a last-16 game in Turin.

"It's not often you don't pay much attention to a fixture against United, who we face the following Sunday, but that's the way it has to be at the moment.

"Our position just makes me realise more and more what a fantastic job the players have done for this club.

"The players aren't satisfied at having got this far. They want to take a step further. The question is if we're good enough.

"It would be a tremendous achievement if we could do something this month and get something from either of the fixtures against Tottenham or Juventus.

"It would give us reason to be proud and would make the club's history books."

Fulham skipper Danny Murphy will undergo a fitness test on his groin strain while Paul Konchesky could start at left-back after recovering from his ankle injury.
