Liverpool vs Fulham prediction, odds and preview

Liverpool welcome Fulham to Anfield in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final on Wednesday night.

The Merseyside Reds put two past Arsenal in the FA Cup, while the Cottagers overcame Rotherham United 1-0 to reach round four of the FA Cup.

Jurgen Klopp’s men hold the advantage ahead of this clash with two wins and two draws in their last five matches against Marco Silvia’s men, losing only once in the period.

Fulham have also been in good form ahead of this clash and will look to secure themselves a favourable result ahead of the second leg at Craven Cottage.

Liverpool will be without the services of Mohammed Salah and Wataru Endo, as the duo are off on international duty at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations and Asian Cup respectively.

Meanwhile, Fulham will have Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi unavailable as both players are off to the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria.

The match comes off at 20:00 GMT.
