Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer believes that the club's win over Newcastle United on Monday can inspire them to beat Queens Park Rangers at the weekend.

The 40-year-old, who has been ever-present this season, also claimed that the Cottagers should have won by more in the fixture against the Magpies.

"It's a massive game. We just need to recover now and take the confidence from Monday night's game into the weekend," he told the club's official website.

"We should have won by more against Newcastle. We had some very good chances, not half-chances or lucky chances - very, very good ones. Their keeper played very well and on another day we might have won more comfortably.

"But of course we're pleased to have won. It was a big game, Newcastle were on similar points to us and it was important to get a win. We'd gone seven games without a win, we'd been unlucky at times, so it's nice to be back to winning ways."

Fulham have not lost in any of their previous six matches against QPR.
