Fulham host Premier League title-chasing Liverpool at Craven Cottage.
Victory would lift Fulham up to 10th in the table, whilst Liverpool can go second on goal difference behind league leaders, Arsenal, unless can win by 10 or more goals which would put them top.

Fulham have no fresh injury concerns to report after their win at West Ham last weekend.

Fulham host Liverpool at 4:30pm BST on Sunday 21 April at Craven Cottage, live on Sky Sports in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Fulham have won one of their last five league meetings against Liverpool (W1, D2, L2).
- Liverpool are unbeaten in their last five league visits to Fulham (W3, D2).
- Mohamed Salah has scored in each of his last two appearances for Liverpool away at Fulham (D2).
- Seven of Rodrigo Muniz’s eight goals for Fulham this season were scored on his right foot.
- Liverpool have claimed seven points in five league visits to London this season (W2, D1, L2).
Prediction
Having clinically won away at West Ham despite having been largely wasteful in their end product, Fulham have to be much tidier in their finishing because they are facing a much tougher team who will punish any sloppy play when at their best.
Liverpool though seem to have hit a rut because their recent performances have generally been fairly poor and especially in attack, as their best version would of kicked on against Atalanta after clawing a goal back yet they were wasteful and lacked creativity in their final touches.
Both teams therefore have to be much better here but after how scrappy their Carabao Cup semi-final meetings were in January and their current form, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the same and this finishes in a draw.
Prediction: Fulham 1-1 Liverpool
Result: Fulham 1-3 Liverpool
