Roy Hodgson has every confidence Bobby Zamora can shoulder Fulham's attacking burden.
With former England striker Andrew Johnson ruled out for the rest of the season after knee surgery, the Cottagers will look to Zamora for the goals to push them up the Barclays Premier League table.
The 29-year-old - who was sidelined earlier in the campaign with a broken collarbone - is fit again following a virus, and is set to lead the line against relegation-battlers Burnley tonight.
Hodgson said: "There is a lot of responsibility on him, but Bobby is used to responsibility and has taken it on his shoulders ever since he came to the club.
"When we were playing well before Christmas, getting through in Europe and doing well in the Premier League, he was in splendid form.
"There will be a lot of weight on his shoulders, but he is big enough to carry it."
