Where to Watch

Kick-off is set for 3pm BST. Watch highlights of the game on Match of the Day 2 on BBC One and BBC One HD at 10.25pm BST.

Overview

Fulham sit bottom of the form guide, having lost five of their last six matches and are currently on a four-match losing streak, which includes last week's 4-2 loss at home to relegated Reading. However, Martin Jol's side, who are now 12th in the table, can ensure top flight status for next season if they manage a point against the Reds today.

Liverpool, on the other hand, enter this match on a six-match unbeaten run, though last week's stalemate at home to Everton was their fourth draw in that period. Brendan Rodgers's men are currently seventh in the table, five points behind Merseyside rivals Everton, with just one game remaining after this clash.

The Reds won the reverse fixture at Anfield 4-0, thanks to goals from Martin Skrtel, Steven Gerrard, Stuart Downing and Luis Suarez, in the Cottagers' biggest defeat of the season.
