Fulham vs Liverpool
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Craven Cottage
Kick-off: 2:15pm GMT
Liverpool return to domestic action as they continue their Premier League title assault with a trip to relegation-threatened Fulham this afternoon.
With title rivals Manchester City in FA Cup action at Swansea City on Saturday, Liverpool's visit to west London the following day represents a perfect chance to lay down a title marker for the run-in.
Jurgen Klopp's side will be on a high after dispatching Bayern Munich in a thrilling 3-1 Champions League clash in midweek, though Scott Parker's Fulham - 12 points adrift of safety with eight games left - have little to lose if they decide to give Liverpool a game.

Score prediction: Fulham 1-3 Liverpool
Fulham showed a noticeable improvement in Parker's first game in charge as they narrowly lost to Chelsea, but - as so often this season - they have too many problems at both ends of the pitch.
Liverpool will be wary of a potential European hangover following their superb win in Munich, but they are tight enough in defence and dangerous enough in attack to put this Fulham side to the sword without too much drama.
