Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Premier League clash between Fulham and Liverpool at Craven Cottage. Will the Merseysiders pick up the win to take them back to the top of the table? Or will the struggling Cottagers spring a major surprise by denting the Travelling Kop's title dreams and boosting their own hopes of an unlikely escape from the drop? Kick off 14:15 GMT.

DID YOU KNOW? Scott Parker played in the Fulham team that lost 4-0 in the Premier League at Anfield in November 2013.

Robertson marauds down the left on to Matip's raking pass and rides Fosu-Mensah's. He drives in from the left byline but then wastes a good situation with a ball across the six-yard box that is far too close to Rico.

TOP-SIX WOES: Fulham have lost 24 of their last 25 Premier League meetings with the established top-six sides. The only time they have avoided defeat in that sequence was when they drew 2-2 at home to Man United in 2014.

A fluid Fulham attack down the left concludes with Seri curving a 25-yard strike well over the bar.

It's pretty even so far, but there are clear gaps in the Fulham rearguard when Liverpool spring from defence into attack.

FAB FORM: Fabinho has started 16 league matches for Liverpool. The Reds are unbeaten in that time, winning 12 and drawing four.

First opening of note sees Salah miscue a right-foot effort wide of the near post after Lallana's flick over the top had caused Chambers a problem.

DID YOU KNOW? There hasn't been a draw between the teams in 13 PL encounters at the Cottage. The last league draw at this ground came in a 1-1 stalemate in December 1967.

HEAD-TO-HEAD: Since a 1-0 success at Anfield in 2012, Fulham have lost five games on the spin against Liverpool, who have snared 16 goals in that time. The Reds are aiming for a third straight top-flight success at Craven Cottage for the first time and are heavy favourites to do so.

KICK OFF! Fulham get this contest underway.

Good timing.

Meanwhile, there's been some good news for Liverpool's youngsters today. The Reds starlets have just beaten Watford 2-1 at Anfield to book a spot in the Youth Cup final.

Mo Salah has not netted in his last six outings for Liverpool - but could still become the fastest ever Reds player to score 50 PL goals in his 67th appearance this afternoon. If he gets on the scoresheet he would become the second fastest in PL history behind Alan Shearer, who achieved the milestone in 66 appearances for Blackburn Rovers.

OPINION: Many felt Liverpool were choking on the Premier League title pressure, but Wednesday’s CL victory over Bayern Munich could prove to be just the distraction the team needed.

Liverpool's goalscoring threat from set pieces in recent weeks has added an extra dimension to their blistering attack according to Gini Wijnaldum.

Jurgen Klopp: "It is just a very important game for us. We don't think about the situation in the table or whatever, we are only focused on our situation. But we know how difficult it is - we only have to take our game against Fulham at home: we need a genius moment from Ali, Trent and Mo to win that game." He added: "Now we have to make sure that we are really spot on from the first second and hopefully we can win that game."

Cottagers caretaker boss Scott Parker: "I believe we can stay up. I see the quality in this team, but I know and understand it will be very difficult. While there are still points available, it's possible."

Fulham make four changes from the 3-1 reversal at Leicester City as Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Jean Seri, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Floyd Ayité come into Scott Parker's starting XI.

Liverpool stick with the same side that defeated Burnley last time out in the PL, which means Adam Lallana starts again.
