Fulham gets the marquee matchup on Saturday with kickoff against Liverpool on NBC at 12:30pm EDT.

Liverpool are coming off a very disappointing run. They just lost to PSG 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final and it could have been a lot worse than 2-0 if Dembele had his shooting boots on. Prior to that they were trounced 4-0 by Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter final. And before that in the league they were beaten at Brighton and drew at home to Spurs leaving them teetering on the edge of Champions League qualification. On top of all that there will be a fan protest on Saturday against ticket prices. It all feels like it is falling apart for Liverpool.

So it is a good time to play Liverpool! But is Fulham up for it? I'm not so sure. It was a pretty dismal international break for Fulham. Wilson and Andersen both saw their countries fail to qualify for the World Cup. Robinson did get an assist (on a corner?!) but it wasn't a great showing for the US. Iwobi got a straight red card in a "friendly" against Jordan for intentionally hitting a guy in the head - Iwobi - mister-happy-go-lucky check-out-my-tunes-on-Instagram-Iwobi. On top of all that, Silva's status is still up in the air and they had to watch Southampton beat Arsenal in the FA Cup. Throw in Fulham's post-break and late-season history and I don't think that Fulham is going to have their heads in the right place for this one.

Last time out, which seems like ages ago, Fulham did get a win against lowly Burnley, but only after going down a goal first. Fulham should be in pretty good health with Kevin the only one who is certainly out. King (who did have a good performance for the England U21 squad) got the start over Smith-Rowe and scored. Given that he could get the start, but I won't be surprised if Silva goes for Smith-Rowe's experience over King's creativity against Liverpool. Bobb has been getting the starts over Chukwueze, but I hope that the roles are reversed for this one. Andersen was the team captain against Burnley, but he's been fading and I won't be upset if Diop gets the start although that is probably unlikely. 

Fulham is no PSG, but they found success against Liverpool by just running at their back line. I hope Fulham will come out on the front foot too, put Liverpool under pressure, and look to make an already sour mood at Liverpool get worse. If Fulham can get a win they have a good shot at moving one spot up the table with Brentford and Everton (the two teams above them) playing each other. This is a good opportunity for Fulham, they just need Silva to get them in the right frame of mind.
