Liverpool have already failed in their attempts to bring a number of players in this transfer window. The club was once the attractive destination of several players due to the history. However, they have not been in the Champions league for the last few years. It is threatening to destroy their ability to bring top names to the club according to captain Steven Gerrard. He has said that the main priority of the club in the coming campaign is to finish in the top four once again. The club was last seen in the Champions league in 2009.

There are also in danger of losing their existing players as well. Striker Luis Suarez has been one of the important players for the club, but he is ready to leave Anfield in search of regular Champions league football. He has said that playing in this competition is his dream, and he wants to realize it by joining a club that regularly plays in this competition. As a result, he wants to join Arsenal, who have qualified for this competition 17 times in succession. However, they have failed to win a major trophy in the last eight years. They have also not won the Champions league in their history.

“We need to break back into the top four to get back the pull we had four or five years ago when we were comfortably in the Champions League year in, year out and challenging to win it. Players who come and get the club back into the Champions League will experience some of the biggest nights of their career, because playing European football in front of this crowd is different to any other. It is not the same club I joined because we are not in the Champions League,” admitted captain Steven Gerrard.

Saturday’s late kick off in the Premier League sees twelfth place Liverpool host a Fulham side one place, and two points below them.

The Reds go in to the game on the back last weekend’s shock 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa, a result that means that only Villa themselves, Sunderland and the bottom three have a worse record in front of their own fans this campaign.

Liverpool have no fresh injury problems, with Oussama Assaidi, Martin Kelly and Fabio Borini remaining the only absentees. Full back Jose Enrique could feature following a hamstring injury, whilst midfielder Nuri Sahin has recovered from surgery on a broken nose.

Captain Steven Gerrard, whose consolation goal last Saturday was his first in eleven league games, is 9.0 (8/1) with a variety of firms to open the scoring, while top scorer Luis Suarez is favourite at a best price of 4.5 (7/2).

The home win is favoured with 1.57 (4/7) the best price on offer, with Fulham a 7.0 (6/1) shot with some bookmakers. The draw is 4.1 (31/10) with Bet Victor.

The visitors were beaten previously winless Queens Park Rangers last time out, and have won just once in nine outings.

They too have no new injury concerns, with full back Sacha Reither available after recovering from a knee problem though midfielder Steve Sidwell is suspended.

Mladen Petric got his fifth goal of the season with his sides late consolation at Loftus Road, and is as highly priced as 13.0 (12/1) to get the first goal of the game, just behind Dimitar Berbatov who is 12.0 (11/1).
