Mark Hughes has the chance for revenge over Manchester City on Sunday when his former club arrive at Craven Cottage to take on Fulham.
The Welshman was ruthlessly sacked by billionaire City owner Sheikh Mansour last December after it was predicted that results were not sufficient to secure a top-four place in the Premier League.
Roberto Mancini was swiftly appointed as a replacement and a place among England's elite clubs did ultimately prove out of reach, although it has been questioned whether that was hindered by a change of manager.
This weekend sees Hughes reunited with his former employers for the first time since his departure and, although the party line will be that this is not a personal battle, there is the added incentive to pile pressure on his successor.
Mancini's future has come under increased scrutiny after his team were booed off against Birmingham last weekend following a second home stalemate in succession on the back of the dull 0-0 draw with derby rivals Manchester United.
City continue to occupy a place in the UEFA Champions League places, but their manager is being questioned over his side's conservative tactics and a failure to entertain, having gone four hours and 45 minutes without a goal at home.
A trip to the capital could therefore bring some welcome solace, but Fulham have lost only once at home in the league this season and Hughes will want to end a three-game winless run that has left his club only one point above the relegation zone.
Fulham will still be without long-term injury victim Bobby Zamora as the striker continues his recovery from ligament damage.
Summer signing Carlos Salcido was ruled out for a month earlier in November after sustaining an ankle problem, while Chris Baird is set for a late test.
But Hughes is without Philippe Senderos and Fredrik Stoor as he looks to address a record of eight draws from 13 Premier League matches.
England duo Joleon Lescott and Micah Richards are Mancini's main doubts ahead of the trip to London, but goalkeeper Joe Hart has overcome the back injury that caused him to miss Wednesday's defeat to France.
Lescott is struggling with a foot injury, while Richards has a rib problem following the midweek encounter with Les Bleus.
After successive goalless draws, City could do with the attacking threat of Mario Balotelli, but the forward is still suspended.
Fulham: Schwarzer, Kelly, Hughes, Hangeland, Duff, Dempsey, Murphy, Davies, Gera, A Johnson, Dembele.
Man City: Hart, Boateng, K Toure, Kompany, Kolarov, De Jong, Y Toure, Johnson, Silva, Milner, Tevez.
