From SkySports :
Liverpool need to close the seven-point gap on neighbours Everton and will be buoyed by their impressive display at Charlton in midweek.
Rafa Benitez's side seem to have overcome a poor patch of form and star striker Fernando Morientes will be pleased that he got off the mark at The Valley.
Dietmar Hamann is back from suspension and should replace Igor Biscan but Benitez is unlikely to tinker too much with his line-up as The Reds eye a place in next season's UEFA Champions League.
Harry Kewell is close to a return and may get a spot on the substitutes' bench, possibly alongside Antonio Nunez, who is no longer suspended after his sending off in the FA Cup defeat to Burnley, and fit-again Vladimir Smicer.
Fulham have a dreadful record at Anfield, they have never won at the famous old ground, but Chris Coleman's side have gone eight matches undefeated and will strive to frustrate the home side.
Coleman has received a ringing endorsement from Chelsea's Jose Mourinho ahead of the trip to Merseyside and is finally able to take a full squad into a Premiership game this season.
Summer recruit Claus Jensen is fit enough to play and Ian Pearce and Alain Goma are also in the party for the trip north.
"It's a nice problem to have," assistant manager Steve Kean told FFCTV. "We've got lots of players coming back.
"There's 19-20 in the squad. Clarky [Lee Clark] is back with a bang, Claus is also back, along with Ian Pearce and Alain Goma."Looks a tough game ahead for L'pool .
When you expect them not to win against Charton , they won . And it's the Best Away Win in 40 years !
When you think they'll win , they surprise you with some crap display .
I'll be catching up this match on TV , a tough 1-0 victory .
It has to be
Nando ! Nando ! Nando !
