Really excited now , 3.00pm kick off yes?

Really excited now , 3.00pm kick off yes?

Thought it kicks off at 5.30PM?

Anyway, haven't posted on here as I've been working a lot this week and this morning, but can't wait for this game.

Had a brief look through this thread, and I agree with most of the posts. Obviously a must-win to put pressure on Utd, and I don't think Masch will start either. Apart from him, we should clearly field our strongest side.

I don't want to rest anyone at this stage of the season, regardless of the opposition or upcoming matches.

I think it'll be a tight-fought match, but our class will make the difference, think I'll go for a 3-1 win to the Reds!

Fulham have shown that they are a good side especially at home.

Reina,Arby,Skrtel,Carra,Aurelio,Xabi,Lucas,Reira,Kuyt,Gerrard,Nando in a 4-2-3-1 should do it

17.30 kick off local time just to clear up! Going to be a rough night for me then.

It's going to be a tough game as both teams have been playing really well leading upto the international break. We keep saying that every game is a must-win so here goes again we have to win this game to go top, be it for 24hrs, to keep pressure on the mancs.

                   Reina

Arbeloa Carragher Skrtel Aurelio

          Alonso      Lucas

Kuyt           Gerrard       Riera
     
                  Torres

I don't think Mascherano will playing cos he came back yesterday and had played 90mins at high altitude, Benayoun is ruled out with hamstring and calf injuries and Sami is also injured-knee.

My prediction...2-0 to Liverpool.

Mascherano may play as the effect from being at altititude may actually help him in the short term I hope he does because he has been a typical unsung hero going about his business without fuss.The rest of the squad is ok apart from Sami and Yossi so full strength side please lots of postitivity and strength please.

Can someone tell me how long in hours and minutes to kick off please? Daylight savings is a bloody pain.

1h 50 mins.

I cant see him swapping the entire left side Aurelio and Rieara have started to play well as a pair as do Arbeloa and Kuyt. I dont care about Chelsea only Fulham so I hope Riera Aurelio and Mascherano play.
