Good evening and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Monday night Premier League football as Fulham entertain Liverpool at Craven Cottage!

Suarez is onside as a lofted diagonal pass comes his way, but he inexplicably volleys upward more than towards goal, allowing Schwarzer to catch the ball when it finally comes back down.

Adam's deflected shot from outside the box is held by Schwarzer after Johnson had cut inside Dempsey only to see his low cross half-cleared to the feet of the former Blackpool man.

Bellamy's attempt to set Johnson free on the right with a cross-field pass is far ahead of the defender's run. Defensive throw coming up.

Kelly claims his early cross took a touch off Enrique, but a goal kick is awarded.

Good defending by Etuhu to thwart the run inside by Johnson from the right wing.

Suarez now on the left from a through pass, low cross coming up and picks out Carroll perfectly! Straight at Schwarzer! Another great block at the other end, Carroll unable to direct the finish beyond the keeper!

From it, Liverpool have the game's first corner but all they're able to do is retain possession from the clearance.

Great through pass by Ruiz to DEMBELE! Reina wins the one-on-one with a great block! Liverpool counter and Adam's volley on a cross from the right is blocked by Kelly!

A Johnson error almost allows Dempsey to break clear, but Skrtel is there to the rescue.

The visitors now putting together some assured short passes after cutting out the forward run down the middle of Senderos.

Suarez, who entered a superlative performance in this fixture last season, overcooks a through pass straight back to Schwarzer.

Liverpool get us underway.

The teams have appeared through that famous corner entrance at the Cottage, and kick-off will follow a minute's applause for Gary Speed.

Fulham's starting XI averages 30 years and 13 days per man, nearly four years on average more than Liverpool's line-up this evening.

The managers of these two clubs faced each other in the English top flight on four occasions, with Dalglish unbeaten against Jol (two wins, two draws). Dalglish scored in the 1-1 draw between the clubs on November 21, 1981.

Conversely, Fulham have won just one of their last eight Premier League games at Craven Cottage (W1 D4 L3), a run which started with that 2-5 defeat by Liverpool in May.

Liverpool are chasing a club record this evening as victory will give them their seventh successive away win in all competitions, equalling a streak they have achieved twice before: between December 1981 and February 1982, and in the first three months of 1988.

Jay Spearing starts in the Premier League for the first time this season following Lucas Leiva's season-ending knee injury. Maxi Rodriguez is dropped as Andy Carroll partners Luis Suarez in attack, with Dirk Kuyt also on the bench. Fulham's only change is at right-back where Stephen Kelly comes in for Chris Baird.

TEAMS - Fulham: Schwarzer, Kelly, Hangeland, Senderos, Riise, Dempsey, Murphy, Etuhu, Ruiz, Dembele, Zamora. Subs: Etheridge, Johnson, Kasami, Gecov, Hughes, Frei, Briggs. /// Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Jose Enrique, Henderson, Spearing, Adam, Bellamy, Suarez, Carroll. Subs: Doni, Maxi, Coates, Kuyt, Downing, Carragher, Kelly.

Both of these sides drew home ties in the FA Cup third round yesterday afternoon, the first stage involving the Premier League clubs. Fulham will play in-form League One side Charlton while Liverpool await the outcome of a replay between Southend and Oldham.

This very fixture was also held on a Monday evening last season. You may remember the match. Maxi scored a hat-trick in an absolute belter.
