Fulham will be in the play-offs going into the international break. Why? Simple.

They'll beat Wolves at the Cottage on Saturday. Forget Tuesday's draw against Blackburn Rovers, I expect Slavisa Jokanovic's men to bounce back at home before the break.

Wolves, OK, they are unbeaten in three but Fulham are in a much better place and have the better quality to overcome them.

All eyes will be on Reading versus Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night. What a game and what a time for Fulham to take advantage.

What would you prefer, Fulham fans? A Reading win to keep Wednesday back, or a draw? Even if Sheffield Wednesday win, Fulham will be in the play-offs if they beat Wolves, as their goal difference is far better than Reading's.

The next few games is a massive chance to really kick on. Automatic promotion is way out of reach, but Fulham are going to upset someone out of Wednesday, Reading and Leeds.

The chasing pack? Derby and Norwich could make a late push, but they'll have to have flawless results with their new managers. It will make it interesting, of course, but Fulham are in the driving seat.

Looking at Wolves this weekend, they had lost five before their last three, which they have drawn once and won twice. Have they been convincing though? Not really.

A 2-1 win at Brentford and a 1-0 win over bottom side Rotherham United should not be enough to strike fear into Fulham, while their draw was goalless against Ipswich Town.

With nine games left, I think Jokanovic's side will need to win at least four or five to make sure of a play-off spot.

Sheffield Wednesday are too inconsistent, as are Reading. They could choke. Wednesday have two Yorkshire derbies coming up, then a game with Newcastle United.

And look at Leeds' next few games. Brighton, Reading, Brentford, Preston and Newcastle. They could really slip up and Fulham could be up to fourth.

Slavisa Jokanovic should be quietly confident

If Fulham can take 12-15 points from now until that final day in May, they'll right in the mix and be the ones to knock someone out of the play-offs.

After that, as we know, anything can happen. A day out to Wembley and going up via the play-offs is definitely the best way. OK, I'm getting too far ahead of myself, perhaps.

There's Derby and Norwich still to play, too. If they don't lose to them, that's a bonus. Sheffield Wednesday on the last day of the season - it might come down to that, but I don't think it will.

Get the win against Wolves this weekend and it sets the Whites up well for when they return to action on April 1 against Rotherham, who could, by the way, be relegated this weekend with a defeat at Queens Park Rangers.

Sixty-seven points by the start of April is a realistic aim. The pressure is then on Derby and Norwich inside ten days to beat Jokanovic's men, while Wednesday have those derbies with Barnsley, Rotherham, and a tough game against Newcastle. And as mentioned above, Leeds' run isn't the greatest.

It's time to hit fifth gear, Fulham.
