LFC cannot afford to concede another goal, as it has not shown much creativity on the day. There are also very few attacking options on the bench to turn the game around.
Final, 1-0 Fulham: Fulham has won at Anfield for the first time in its history. The makeshift LFC team did no service to itself in the dull defeat.
Fulham is trying to lock up the game with this move.
58th minute, 1-0 Fulham: Kacaniklic has been replaced by Frei.
Dempsey and Pavel Pogrebnyak have formed a dangerous partnership up top. While Former Reds John Arne Riise and Danny Murphy hope to turn in a top performance in front of their former supporters.
2:30 p.m.: Here are the lineups:
43rd minute, 1-0 Fulham: Shelvey is the next Red to test Schwarzer.
Henderson and Shelvey are the only holdovers from the last LFC game.
Schwarzer made the save.
Carroll's header failed to find a teammate, but it was a real moment of danger.
28th minute, 1-0 Fulham: Schwarzer and Hangeland combine to keep LFC off the board.
76th minute, 1-0 Fulham: Sterling has come on in place of Kuyt. It's his second first-team appearance for the Reds.
With the FA Cup final taking place on Saturday, Dalglish rotated his team giving some players a chance to stake their claim for playing time in the big game. Carroll and Skrtel, two LFC regulars, played well enough, but the others lacked the sharpness and drive to get the best of Fulham.
Carroll wins a header on a corner kick and flicks it to Maxi, whose header goes high.
42nd minute, 1-0 Fulham: Carroll is starting to impose himself in the air.
LFC players will take the field knowing their places in Saturday's FA Cup final are at stake. Martin Skrtel was rested against Norwich, but he should be restored to the starting 11. That was also the case for Spearing. Andy Carroll has overcome a groin problem that kept him out of the Norwich game. He should see a good amount of playing time on Tuesday.
66th minute, 1-0 Fulham: Enrique replaces Aurelio.
A deflection fell to him at the top of the area, and he hit it on the volley.
The former LFC academy player made little impact apart from making the touch that led to Skrtel's own goal.
Fifth minute, 1-0 Fulham: The Reds have fallen behind after Skrtel scores an own goal.
93rd minute, 1-0 Fulham: Kelly fouls Carroll within shooting distance of the goal.
Liverpool FC

The former LFC fullback played a hard low cross which Kacaniklic (another former Red) deflected off of Skrtel's shoulder.

Dempsey was the catalyst of the play. He controlled the ball near the LFC area and played it left to Riise.

80th minute, 1-0 Fulham: Etuhu comes on for Pogrebnyak.

It's not that the Cottagers are so determined and composed without the ball.
He headed low, but Schwarzer was in a good spot to stop it.
