Fulham winger Samuel Chukwueze says his team will be going all out for victory when they face Crystal Palace this weekend, SportPremi reports.
The Cottagers welcome the Eagles in another London derby clash to the Craven Cottage on Sunday evening, hoping to bounce back from the disappointing defeat to Manchester City in midweek.
Marco Silva’s men almost pulled off an incredible comeback, coming from 5-1 deficit to end the highly entertaining clash at 5-4.
Super Eagles pair Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze were on the scoresheet with one and two goals respectively in that clash, and will be eager to inspire their side to victory again.

Chukwueze, 26, has been in remarkable form this season, scoring twice and providing three assists in seven league games.
The winger joined the club on an initial loan deal in the summer from Italian side AC Milan, which could become a permanent deal by the end of the season.
Chukwueze eyes another inspiring performance
Samuel Chukwueze has made just one start in the league this season, but will be expected to start in the clash against Crystal Palace on Sunday following his two-goal heroics against Manchester City.
The Nigerian has been eased into life at the club, with most of his appearances coming as a substitute as he continues his way to full fitness.
“I’m so happy, very happy with my form. I think the most important thing is the coach pushing me harder, making me focus no matter the game”, the Nigerian forward revealed.
“Every day is a new day. If you do assists, great; if you don’t, you just have to keep your feet ready every moment, every ten minutes, every twenty minutes, you just have to be ready to give everything.
In our home games, we are good. Since I arrived, we have only lost to two big teams: Manchester City and Arsenal. Apart from that, we haven’t lost any home game. We are strong in that aspect, and we are good”, the 26-year-old added.
“Against Crystal Palace, we are going to give them the respect they deserve because they are also a good and strong side. We are strong as well, and we can give everything in that game.”
