Liverpool
Liverpool is currently sitting at the fifth of the league table with 56 points. Although a win could bring them with 59 points, they can only maintain their spot, as they are still with seven points disadvantage with the team at the fourth. Their climb at the league table is all because of how much they improved recently. In fact, they had a slow start this season, but they worked really hard to be able to climb. Coming into this game, they are aiming to extend their winning run, in preparation for the next round. They are coming from a 4-3 win against the Spurs, and are aiming for the same result here. Attacks has been one of their key to their success lately, but they need to improve their defense. That has been their problem on their last game, despite their win, an area they need to address.
Ruled out in this game are Calvin Ramsay, Stefan Bajcetic, Robert Firmino, and Naby Keita due to their own injuries. Thiago Alcantara on the other hand is a doubt after he was seen limping on their last match. This is also the same with Darwin Nunez who recently picked up a knock, putting him as a doubt here.
Fulham
Fulham on the other hand is sitting at the 10th of the league table with 45 points, but would only retain their spot even with a win. They are with five points lead against the team at the 11th, and with five point disadvantage with the ninth. Their inconsistencies this season have been their number one problem, which they need to address. In fact, they are from a 2-1 defeat against Man City on their last match. With that, they are hopeful to bounce back in this game and go home with a win. They can win here if they can provide the same or even better effort against Liverpool. Although this will only retain their spot, it is still good for them to at least enter the next round with a good momentum.
Fulham on the other hand is encountering fresh fitness concerns, as Tim Ream, and Andreas Pereira are both taken off on their last match. Aleksandar Mitrovic is absent in this match due to his suspension, while Layvin Kurzawa is unavailable due to a knee injury. William on the other hand remains a doubt due to his thigh injury.
