Hello and welcome to the ECHO's live coverage of Liverpool's clash with Fulham in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
After progressing in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday with a brilliant 2-0 win at Arsenal, the Reds will be bouncing into this first-leg encounter at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp's side remain in the hunt for four pieces of silverware this season and could take a big step toward Wembley with a win tonight.
There are a number of issues for the Liverpool manager to contend with, though, with 10 first-team players unavailable.
The Reds were always going to be without Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo due to their participation in mid-season international tournaments, but it was confirmed on Tuesday that Trent Alexander-Arnold would be missing for three weeks after hyperextending his knee against the Gunners.
Nevertheless, Klopp will be confident his team can give Fulham a mountain to climb after the first leg. The London club have performed well in this tournament, yet remain big underdogs to progress.
We'll have the breaking team news at 7pm and then all the build up to the matches, which begins at 8pm. We'll then have updates from the action and all the post-game reaction and analysis.
Paul Gorst, Ian Doyle, Theo Squires and Keifer MacDonald are in place for us at Anfield.

Liverpool will need one or two to step up in the absence of Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold from a creative point of view tonight. Alexis Mac Allister is a prime candidate but I am also looking at Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, should all three play this evening. Curtis Jones is another one too.
