Fulham v Liverpool | Sunday 21st April | 4.30pm | Craven Cottage | #FULLIV
The opposition
- Liverpool had harboured hopes of Jurgen Klopp’s final season at the helm yielding a quadruple, but a tough month means that the Premier League is now their only chance of adding to their Carabao Cup triumph this season.
- A classic FA Cup Quarter-Final at old rivals Manchester United saw them lose 4-3 in the final minute of extra-time, while they also exited the Europa League at the same stage this week, with Atalanta claiming a famous 3-1 aggregate victory.
- The Reds remain very much in the fight for the title, though, despite a surprise defeat by Crystal Palace at Anfield on Sunday. That slip up has put Manchester City in control of proceedings, but there are just two points separating the sides, with 18 still to play for.

Player insight
With Fulham having scored five goals in our three previous meetings with Liverpool this season, Andreas Pereira knows his side are capable of causing the Reds problems.
“Apart from us, not many teams scored so many goals against Liverpool this season, so I think we know how to play against them.
“We have to respect they have a lot of quality, but I think we can get a good result on Sunday.”

Fulham For All
At Craven Cottage, we believe in fostering a welcoming environment that celebrates the passion for football while respecting every individual. Tragedy chanting is unacceptable. Supporters are urged to report any discriminatory behaviour or tragedy chanting promptly using the Club’s FULSTOP reporting service.
Tragedy chanting has sadly surfaced across football, causing distress to victims' families, and tarnishing the reputation of football clubs.
Last season alone, there were 30 incidents in the Premier League, prompting football authorities to campaign, regulate, and take decisive action against such behaviour. Our collective goal is to change the 'normalisation' of such actions and create an atmosphere where everyone feels valued and respected.
It is important for everyone to understand that those displaying acts of football tragedy-related abuse can be prosecuted as a public order offence.
We encourage all those attending this fixture to contribute to Craven Cottage's positive atmosphere and report any discriminatory abuse through the Club's free text service. Send FULHAM, along with detailed information, to 60066, helping us maintain an exciting, safe, and respectable environment for everyone.

Matchday programme
On the back of being named the Premier League Player of the Month for March, Rodrigo Muniz has spoken to the matchday programme ahead of Liverpool’s visit to Craven Cottage.
Asked how he felt about winning the award, our number 19 commented: “I must thank God for everything that has happened to me over these past few months. I’m happy because it’s been a lot of work, I’ve worked a lot in order to experience all this now. I’d also like to thank my teammates and all of the staff because, without them, this award wouldn’t have been possible.”
On the subject of awards, Adrion Pajaziti was named PL2 Player of the Month, and his interview with Fulham Season Ticket Holder Rhys Porter, who has recently undertaken work experience with the Club’s media department, is also featured in the programme.
