Football : English Premier League
Venue: Craven Cottage

Match Preview :
Fulham goes into this match with Liverpool in poor form having lost their last four matches. Fulham have not won a Premier League game for six matches since their 3-2 win over the QPR on April 1st to leave them stuck on the 40 point mark and not yet safe from relegation.
Meanwhile, Liverpool go into the game sitting in seventh spot with not much to play for and only a glimmer of a hope of finishing in sixth above neighbours Everton. The Reds will also be without Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez for this match until the end of the season.
But it should be noted that the Reds are unbeaten in six in the Premier League, with just one defeat in 11 matches in all competitions and they defeated Fulham 4-0 in the earlier fixture at Anfield this season hoping to complete the double over them in this match.
Interestingly it should be noted that Fulham have never managed to win any of the eight games they have played this season without Steve Sidwell in the Premier League (D2 L6).
Team News :
Fulham Team News :
Mladen Petric and Simon Davies are rated doubtful for this match. Petric (hip) and Davies (hamstring) both missed last weekend's home defeat to Reading and they face late fitness tests to see if they can start this match.
Steve Sidwell is still suspended following his red card against Arsenal, while Mahamadou Diarra (knee), Ashkan Dejagah (ankle) remain out of the side with injuries. Alexander Kacaniklic will be hoping to start against his former club after impressing against FReading coming off the bench.
Liverpool Team News :
Liverpool will be without captain Gerrard as he has undergone shoulder surgery, while Suarez is still missing as he serves the third game of his ten-match suspension. They will be joined on the sidelines by Daniel Agger who has also been ruled out of the final two games of the campaign with a back injury.
Martin Skrtel is set to replace Agger at the back alongside Jamie Carragher who will take the captain's armband from Gerrard. Jonjo Shelvey could get the nod to replace Gerrard in midfield unless Brendan Rodgers decides to shuffle his pack and play Fabio Borini and switch Jordan Henderson to the middle of midfield.
Prediction:
Go for Liverpool to get the win and give the 1/2 ball.
