Fulham 3-1 Liverpool
Has Arne Slot delivered a rollicking in the dressing room?
It certainly seems like it.
Liverpool have been much more lively in the opening minutes of the second half.

Son Heung-Min plays a ball into the path of Djed Spence but Jan Bednarek slides in to intercept.

I said earlier today that Diogo Jota was the best finisher at Liverpool and he should be scoring there. He just couldn't lift it over Bernd Leno, who makes a good save in the end.
GREAT SAVE!published at 15:09 British Summer Time 6 April
Fulham 3-1 Liverpool
HUGE SAVE!
Digo Jota only has the Fulham keeper to beat but Bernd Leno keeps calm and makes a vital stop.
It came after a lovely move which involved Mohamed Salah producing a defence-splitting pass through to Jota.

The second half is under way at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
How does Nkunku come back from that?published at 15:06 British Summer Time 6 April
Chelsea 0-0 Brentford
Nizaar Kinsella
BBC Sport football news reporter
Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku was substituted at half-time for Nicolas Jackson.
The struggling Frenchman was signed to be a marquee player but is struggling for minutes, looks rusty and just can't get himself going - except for scoring against lesser opposition in some Conference League matches.
It feels like his career is drifting at Stamford Bridge and, amid interest from Bayern Munich in January, it feels like he is getting close to the exit door.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:06 British Summer Time 6 April
Fulham 3-1 Liverpool
The second half starts with Sasa Lukic picking up a yellow card for a foul on Ryan Gravenberch.
It allows Alexis Mac Allister to float a free-kick into the Fulham box but it's too close to Bernd Leno.
KICK-OFFpublished at 15:04 British Summer Time 6 April
Back under way at both Brentford and Fulham.
Nicolas Jackson is on for Christopher Nkunku.
Postpublished at 15:03 British Summer Time 6 April
They're on their way back out at Craven Cottage and the Gtech.
It looks like Nicolas Jackson is getting ready to come on for Chelsea.
Saints' supporters show good sense of humourpublished at 15:02 British Summer Time 6 April

Southampton are one half of football away from having their relegation to the Championship confirmed.
But the away fans still have a sense of humour. "Que sera, sera... we're going to Cove-ntry," was one chant.
While after Tottenham had a second goal disallowed following a farcical four-minute VAR check, the long-suffering Saints supporters started up with "we are staying up," before then changing tack and suggesting Tottenham were "going down with the Southampton".
But Spurs finally got a second goal shortly after, anyway.
For Saints fans, you have to laugh...or cry.

Fulham thoroughly deserve the half time lead. Liverpool haven't got started and apart from that Alexis Mac Allister goal full credit has to go to Fulham.
It's not over though, Liverpool can't play that bad in the second half. Arne Slot will make changes and usually when he does they work out.

Why are people so surprised? Fulham are a good team, especially at home. And Liverpool haven't been as good in recent months as they were at the beginning of the season! Fulham away was never going to be an easy three points!

'Huge performance needed by Southampton to get back in it'published at 14:58 British Summer Time 6 April
HT: Tottenham 2-0 Southampton
Stephen Kelly
Former Tottenham defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Aaron Ramsdale has the best pass of the match for them, two great saves, a third one by Djed Spence and he's kept Southampton in it.
But they're going to lose this match by the looks of it. They're going to have to put in a huge performance in the second half to get back in it.
Ramsdale has done what's asked of him. He couldn't have done anything for the two goals, and when he's been needed he's made big saves.

It will be interesting to see what Arne Slot does at the break. He will be looking at the problems that they are having and trying to solve them.
Curtis Jones on that right hand side, even though he has played OK he is not getting any help, and Antonee Robinson and Alex Iwobi are causing lots of problems.

As a Forest fan, I’ve enjoyed being the only one in Liverpool’s PL loss column so far this season. Maybe there’s enough space in Arne’s head for both Nuno and Marco?

Shoddy defendingpublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 6 April
HT: Fulham 3-1 Liverpool
Liverpool
Liverpool had one attempt on target in the first 45 minutes - Alexis Mac Allister's goal from 25 yards.
Mo Salah has had 18 touches - and no attempts.
But it's at the other end of the pitch where the alarm bells have been ringing.
It's been a really shoddy defensive performance by the Premier League leaders.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 14:53 British Summer Time 6 April
Tottenham 2-0 Southampton
Tottenham have a deserved lead at the break.
Southampton are just 45 minutes away from having their relegation from the Premier League confirmed.
Postpublished at 14:53 British Summer Time 6 April
Tottenham 2-0 Southampton
Djed Spence's shot is well parried by Aaron Ramsdale who keeps the scoreline somewhat respectable.
