Fulham and Liverpool will do battle again tonight with a place in the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea up for grabs.
Liverpool won the first leg at Anfield, coming from a goal down to claim a 2-1 win thanks to two goals in three minutes.
Fulham are looking to throw a spanner in the works tonight though and go with Bernd Leno between the sticks as usual.
Timothy Castagne and former Everton man Antonee Robinson are the full backs this evening with Tosin Adarabioyo and Issa Diop as the centre backs.
Joao Palhinha is joined in midfield by Tom Cairney with Andreas Pereira further forward.
Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Willian are on the flanks, supporting Raul Jimenez in the final third.
Ex-Liverpool man Harry Wilson is on the bench, joining Marek Rodak, Kenny Tete, Tim Ream, Harrison Reed, Saka Lukic, Tyrese Francois, Rodrigo Muniz and Carlos Vinicius.
Liverpool go with Caoimhin Kelleher in goal as he deputises for Alisson, as he often does in cup games.
Jarell Quansah comes in for Ibrahima Konate at centre back, partnering Virgil van Dijk with Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez as the full backs.
Alexis Mac Allister will sit in midfield again with Harvey Elliott and Ryan Gravenberch going further forward.
Cody Gakpo comes into the side tonight, joining Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz in Liverpool’s front three.
Diogo Jota drops to the bench after destroying Bournemouth on Sunday, joining Alisson, Konate, Curtis Jones, Bobby Clark, James McConnell, Owen Beck and Trey Nyoni.
There is also a spot on the bench for Andy Robertson, who is part of the matchday squad for the first time since the 2-2 draw with Brighton and Hove Albion in October.
Robertson has been out with a shoulder problem but is now back on the bench tonight as he ramps up his return to action.
