Steven Gerrard and Liverpool are growing in confidence with each game, can their run continue against Fulham?

The dilemma facing Fulham boss Rene Muelensteen is whether to adopt the same tactics on home turf that worked effectively -- to a point -- at Old Trafford. While Muelensteen was keen to pat himself on the back and boast of how he knew what to expect from United, let's not forget that they did actually concede two goals and needed a stoppage time equaliser from substitute Darren Bent to avoid defeat. For all the praising of Fulham and criticism of United's one-dimensional approach play, it's not like they went there and kept a clean sheet.

Luis Suarez hopes to end his mini-goal drought when Liverpool visit Fulham.

 Suarez will be looking to get back on the goal trail after going two games without scoring. That's a drought of epic proportions for the Reds' No.7 based on this season's incredible form, as the woodwork and inspired goalkeeping have conspired to keep him off the scoresheet in Liverpool's last two fixtures. Sturridge on the other hand hasn't been able to stop scoring, finding the net in each of the six games he's featured in since returning from injury. If the right one don't get you then the left one will...

In the wake of that stunning victory over Arsenal, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has spent the last few days playing down talk of a title challenge, but for the club's supporters a victory at Craven Cottage will perhaps bring back memories of the Reds' last run at the Premier League title when Yossi Benayoun's dramatic stoppage time winner in April 2009 sent Rafa Benitez's side to the top of the table. That goal and subsequent victory had the traveling support belting out "And now you're gonna believe us, WE'RE GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE" with a belief not felt since the Reds' last title triumph almost 20 years earlier.
