Having both triumphed in their respective FA Cup third round matches, Fulham and Liverpool will both be looking for another cup win when they do battle with each other in the semi-finals of this season’s EFL Cup.
Liverpool extended their unbeaten run across competitions to six games when they brushed aside Arsenal to the tune of 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday. Jurgen Klopp’s men were the latest side to take full advantage of Arsenal’s concerning wastefulness and they now find themselves in the fourth round of the competition. Indeed, with Mo Salah preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations and Virgin Van Dijk sent through illness, the Reds could have been a couple of goals in arrears by the interval, however the Gunners consistently failed to breach the visitors’ defence and Klopp’s side punished the home side through an own goal and a strike from Luis Diaz in stoppage time.
Liverpool find themselves still very much in the hunt for a quadruple this season although they have a long way to go before they can write their name in the record books. Nevertheless, the Premier League title, Europa League trophy and EFL Cup trophy are all very realistic aims and the chances are that they will find themselves one foot into the final of the latter competition at the final whistle on Wednesday.
Fulham will be going all-out to silence the Anfield faithful by grabbing themselves an advantage in this first-leg clash. The Cottagers have eliminated the likes of Ipswich Town, Norwich City, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton (via penalties) on their way to this stage of proceedings but the West London side have lost each of their last five League Cup meetings with Liverpool and we don’t envisage things being any different this time around.
Fulham have the capabilities to trouble a Reds backline which won’t have been completely unscathed by their battle with the Gunners, however even without Salah in the ranks, Liverpool certainly have more than enough attacking know-how to send them to a win over Fulham in this midweek clash.
