Fulham have their work cut out for them as they try to overturn a 2-1 deficit against Liverpool in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final.
Willian surprisingly gave Fulham the lead in the first leg of the semi-final. But Liverpool snatched it from them courtesy of second-half goals from Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo. The Cottagers have had a testing run of games, with three of their last four matches coming against Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.
Fulham did manage to beat Arsenal in their final game of 2023. They were beaten 1-0 by Chelsea in their latest Premier League outing. As such, there is no reason Marco Silva's men shouldn't fancy their chances as they square off against Liverpool on Wednesday night.
When the two sides clashed at Anfield in the Premier League in early December, we witnessed a goal-fest that ended 4-3 in favor of the Reds.
Meanwhile, Liverpool recorded an encouraging 4-0 victory over Bournemouth in their latest outing. The Reds were without some key players like Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold but were enterprising in attack and sturdy in defense.
Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota bagged a pair of braces to help Jurgen Klopp's men extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to five points.
Liverpool are in pretty good form heading into Wednesday night's semi-final clash after winning their last five games on the trot in all competitions.
