Wolves defender Christophe Berra has told national boss Fabio Capello that Fulham striker Bobby Zamora deserves an England World Cup call.

Berra is set to mark Zamora at Craven Cottage tomorrow - if the Cottagers striker shakes off an Achilles problem.

With Zamora having confounded his critics with 19 goals this season, Scotland international Berra has now joined the clamour to see the 29-year-old win a place on the plane to South Africa.

He said: "Bobby must be one of the form strikers in the league at the moment and is scoring a lot of goals.

"It looks like he might get an England call-up the way things are going and I think he deserves it from the way he's been playing.

"Fulham have got some good strikers, but no matter who they've got up front we know it will be a hard game and we'll have to be on the ball to pick anything up."

Wolves go to Fulham six points clear of the drop zone with four games to go, knowing another victory could be enough to keep them up.

But Berra has urged his team-mates to keep up their recent stubborn form that has seen the team pick up seven points from their last four trips to climb to 14th in the table.

He said: "Performances have been good recently, but we've got to keep that going for the next four games.

"We will definitely have to do that tomorrow because Fulham are a good side, particularly at Craven Cottage, so it's going to be very difficult game.

"We're going to have to produce a top performance if we're going to come away with anything. We won't take our foot off the pedal, not that the gaffer would ever let us do that anyway. We have to give as much over the last four games, as we did the first four games of the season.

"It's always nice to achieve something by your own results rather than relying on anyone else's."
