Liverpool Team News
The Merseyside team is in good form, winning three games in a row after the draw against Arsenal at Anfield a few weeks ago. Despite one strange loss from Union SG in the Europa League, Jurgen Klopp’s team is playing nice football and, at the moment, is one of the contenders for the EPL title. In the last round of the EFL Cup, Liverpool won against West Ham 5-1, taking a big step towards winning the cup. The problem before the team is the possible absence of Van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai. Still, there are enough quality players who can replace them for the upcoming important game.
Fulham Team News
Fulham has also been doing well recently in EPL, winning against Arsenal and winning in the FA Cup game against Rotherham. The team is positioned in the middle of the table, which is good for the manager and the owners but not so good for the fans, who want their team to be in the top 10 of EPL. There are good players playing in Fulham, but the problem is that they are not from the class of the top teams in the league. This cost them lots of easily lost points, including against the teams from the bottom of the table. Fulham qualified for these semi-finals thanks to the late drama against Everton, the other team from Liverpool.
