Preview: Liverpool vs Fulham

Preview: Liverpool vs Fulham

10 November 2007 - 12:40

Liverpool look to continue their good form after their thumping of Besiktas in midweek, and the return of Fernando Torres for only his second Premier League match in more than a month tomorrow against Fulham could spark a goalfest. However, Liverpool's talented strike force are all battling for places, but will it go to Crouch or Voronin to partner the Spaniard in Rafa Benitez's 200th game in charge?

  • Chelsea handed big injury boost for Bayern clash
  • Fernandes unhappy with Man Utd role under Amorim

  • The Cottagers will be without suspended Paul Konchesky and Elliott Omozusi. Carlos Bocanegra is back from a suspension while Shefki Kuqi could be handed his full debut.



    Chris Baird is fit and will return to the starting line-up, but youngster Nathan Ashton has picked up a thigh injury and misses out.



    Harry Kewell could make a long-awaited return to the Liverpool line-up as he continues his recovery from long term injury.



    Benitez: striker headache

    "I was happy with the Champions League performance but I have not decided who plays in the next game.

    "The situation does not worry me. I can choose from four strikers who I believe are all playing well but I can understand why people ask the question.



    "I like to see all my players doing well and I prefer to have the problem of deciding which players will be in the team."



    Teams

    Liverpool (from): Reina, Finnan, Arbeloa, Carragher, Hyypia, Hobbs, Aurelio, Riise, Babel, Benayoun, Gerrard, Mascherano, Sissoko, Kewell, Voronin, Kuyt, Crouch, Torres, Martin, Lucas.



    Fulham (from): Niemi, Warner, Stefanovic, Hughes, Bocanegra, Baird, Leijer, Davis, Smertin, Murphy, Seol, Davies, Healy, Dempsey, Kamara, Kuqi.

    Liverpool 2-0 Fulham

    Well, after mid-week 8-0 exploits you can't see Liverpool slipping to a defeat at home to the mighty Fulham, can you? It'll be an interesting game, but Crouch - if he starts! - will be a thorn in Fulham's side up front. He really has shown how useful a player he can be, and I think if he starts he will be a threat.



    Goalscorer: Peter Crouch

    Score: 2-0 to Liverpool
