Anfield Saturday, 10 November Kick-off: 1715 GMT BBC coverage: BBC Sport website, BBC Radio Five Live & highlights on Match of the Day.

Team news to follow later.

Liverpool run out for Rafael Benitez' 200th game in charge, four days after thrashing Besiktas 8-0 - the biggest win in Champions League history.

The Merseysiders put their unbeaten Premier League record on the line, against a Fulham side yet to win away, but one who also enjoyed their biggest win of the season last time out (3-1, home to Reading).

This is a match between the draw specialists of the Premier League; six of Liverpool's 11 league games have finished all square, and 50% of Fulham's have also ended level (six of 12).

The Cottagers were the last club to beat Liverpool in the Premier League.

Fulham are chasing back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time in 46 outings; however defeat would take the Londoners' total of losses in this league to 100.

The Craven Cottage club have never won in any competition at Anfield.
