Team News

Fulham
Liverpool
  • Adama Traore misses out due to injury, though is the only player in the Fulham physio room at present.
  • Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi and Fode Ballo-Toure are all at AFCON.
  • Curtis Jones came off owing to hamstring tightness in the win over Bournemouth so may not be risked, with Dominik Szoboszlai tipped to return here.
  • Mohamed Salah has sustained a back injury while on international duty and misses out, as does Wataru Endo, who is shining for Japan at the Asian Cup.
  • Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson and Thiago are among those who remain sidelined due to injury.

Prediction

  • Fulham put in a spirited display in the first leg at Anfield but ultimately succumbed to a 2-1 defeat on Merseyside. The Cottagers have won back-to-back games at Craven Cottage, and five of their last six on home turf.
  • Liverpool made it five wins on the spin as they smashed Bournemouth 4-0 on the south coast on Sunday. Jurgen Klopp's side are unbeaten in five at Fulham but have been held to a draw in their last two in west London.
  • Nevertheless, with Liverpool in such impressive form despite injuries, back the Reds to confirm their Wembley spot with victory on Wednesday night.
