David Healy is hoping to play a key role for Fulham as they try to avoid the drop on Sunday
Healy dreams of saving Fulham

Northern Ireland hero David Healy last night revealed his dream to keep
Fulham in the Premier League.
Last month Fulham looked down and out but after a dramatic upturn in form,
the Cottagers know that a win on Sunday at Portsmouth in the final game of
the season will complete a remarkable turnaround and ensure the London
outfit stays in the top flight.
Should Birmingham and Reading, currently in the bottom three, lose against
Blackburn and Derby respectively, Fulham will be safe but they don't want to
rely on anyone else.
Healy scored in the first match of the campaign, at Arsenal, and would love
to do the same in the last.
"When I go to sleep on Saturday night I will be dreaming about scoring
the goal that keeps us in the Premier League," Healy told the Belfast
Telegraph. "The match with Portsmouth will effectively make or break
our season. If other results go our way we could stay up but we have to
focus on our game and go out and win it."
Healy suffered the pain of relegation from the Championship with Leeds
United last season and does not want to experience that feeling again.
He said: "I saw at Leeds the impact relegation had. It is a nightmare
time for any club. We just have to make sure it doesn't happen to us."
