    Fulham want to get the ball up the field as far as possible. I think that is quite a defensive change [Robinson for Lookman]. They are trying to kill the space that Trent Alexander-Arnold is getting.

    Xherdan Shaqiri tries to find Mohamed Salah with a ball over the top but it's headed behind for a corner. Pinball in the box but Fulham clear.

    Bob: I have Liverpool winning this game 2-1, boy I hope I am wrong. Fulham deserve to win this.

    Sam: Jurgen Klopp showed a complete lack of respect to Fulham with his line up and he, and Liverpool, are getting exactly what they deserve.

    Every second ball is being won by a Liverpool player. There is much more urgency. There is a more comfortable look about them.

    Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are basically playing as wingers. If there were fans in the Kop it would probably be 1-1.

    It is attack v defence now basically. Trent Alexander-Arnold picks out Sadio Mane with a cross but Mane heads the ball into the ground and the keeper catches the loose ball.

    It's funny how two of the better teams to watch in the Premier League are 17th and 18th.

    Liverpool have a corner which is half-cleared to Naby Keita, who volleys over from 22 yards. That would have been a goal-of-the-season contender to score from there.

    Surprised we didn't see this earlier as Trent Alexander-Arnold replaces Neco Williams.

    Fabinho is also on for James Milner.

    Man City v Man Utd (16:30 GMT)

    Manchester City make three changes for the derby as John Stones, Ilkay Gündogan and Oleksandr Zinchenko come into the starting XI.

    That means Gabriel Jesus starts in attack with Sergio Aguero among the substitutes again.

    Man City: Ederson, Joao Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus, Sterling.

    Subs: Walker, Aguero, Steffen, Laporte, Bernardo Silva, Torres, Mendy, Fernandinho, Foden.

    There's four changes for Manchester United.

    Anthony Martial comes into the first XI while there are also starts for Daniel James, Victor Lindelof and Scott McTominay after the trio were on the bench in the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

    David de Gea continues to be absent following the birth of his daughter, so Dean Henderson is in goal, while Edinson Cavani is not in the squad.

    Man Utd: Henderson, Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, James, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford, Martial.

    Subs: Bailly, Greenwood, Grant, Diallo, Alex Telles, Matic, Williams, Tuanzebe, Shoretire.

    Enough is enough now. Whoever has kidnapped the real Liverpool squad and replaced them with these lookalikes needs to own up please.

    If anything, this dreadful run shows how much we Kopites are part of the team and not having us affects everything. By contrast, look at West Ham, flying without the lingering threat of fan protests/apathy which have suffocated them in seasons past. Coincidence? Think not

    Fulham are a lovely side to watch - really nice one the ball. We all know what the problem is it's quite simple, they don't put the ball in the back of the net enough. They create plenty of chances and they've been extremely unlucky.

    On the ball confidence wise they play nice football, good organisation and structure, especially at the back. If I was a team just above them in the league I would be slightly concerned.

    Liverpool are starting to knock on the door now. Neco Williams pulls it back for Xherdan Shaqiri, who curls a shot *just* high and wide from the edge of the box.

    The closest Liverpool have come. Naby Keita whips in a cross and Sadio Mane stretches to get his head onto it. It looked to me like it might be looping wide but it's actually an excellent effort and comes back off the post. Inches.

    Harrison Reed and Mario Lemina have worked so incredibly hard - leaving no space. That space in front of the two centre backs has been killed time and time again - work, thinking intelligently and killing the space where Liverpool can usually be so dangerous.

    Liverpool haven't won at Anfield since 16 December. This would be their sixth home loss in a row.
