KEEPING STARS THE KEY

MARCUS BETTINELLI is banking on Fulham reaping the rewards for fighting off Premier League predators.

The Cottagers have clicked into gear with seven wins from their last eight games, and managed to hang on to Ryan Sessegnon (left), Tom Cairney and Ryan Fredericks in January.

They visit Bolton today and keeper Bettinelli said: “We have so many attacking options. Now we must aim to kick on because we are full of confidence.

“We struggled to find our feet at the start of the season, but have kept at it and now must keep this run going.

“To keep our key players is massive for us. That’s so important.”
