Jurgen Klopp’s side are top of the Premier League and remain in both cups as they aim to get their hands on some silverware.

Jurgen Klopp knows his side have to be on the top of their game to overcome Fulham across the two legs.

He said: «No one needs me to say how big a game this is. It speaks for itself.

»When you are only two steps away from a final at Wembley, it makes sense to do everything that you possibly can to take them. 

“We have done this in the past and the feeling was good – really good – so it would be nice if we could experience that feeling again.

«For that to happen, we know we will have to be absolutely on our toes for the full 180-200 minutes of the two legs. 

“Fulham's quality is not an unknown quantity, I will say it like this, and they have shown on so many occasions that they have the tools and the know-how to give many problems.”

A landmark night at Anfield for Joe Gomez!
