Tonight, Liverpool play host to Fulham in the first leg of the EFL Cup quarterfinals. The Reds are at the top of the Premier League and have just beaten Arsenal in the EFL Cup, with striker Luis Diaz scoring two goals in the win. Even if Mohamed Sana is out for personal reasons, Liverpool's attacking power is still not to be underestimated. Fulham, who have advanced to the fourth round of the EFL Cup and have won two consecutive matches in the league against Arsenal, will go all out to make a breakthrough in this match, and a 2.5-goal win is the best choice. (Live on HOY TV 77 at 4am on Thursday)
Liverpool's recent hot form includes a 5-1 home sweep against Westham in the last eight of the EFL Cup and a 4-2 win over Newcastle in the league, all of which were won by large margins. Especially in the League Cup, the Reds have scored three or more goals in their last four matches, showing the importance they place on this tournament.
Despite the temporary departure of Japanese midfielder Hikaru Endo and Egyptian striker Mohamed Shana, who will be representing the national team in the Asian Cup and the African Cup of Nations respectively, the team's strength has been affected. However, leader Gopu has found a way to cope with the situation and continues to line up an attacking lineup. In the last match against Arsenal, midfielder Alexei MacArish played well after his comeback, and Luis Diaz, who replaced Mohamed Sana, became a miracle player in the match, helping the team to win with his 2-0 goal. With the Colombian international at the helm, Liverpool are expected to take the lead in the first leg at home.
